This song has been written as a way for the band to deal with the criticism, which is always hard to take. The song is meant to be an expression of defiance of the critics’ words telling them how they should or shouldn’t sound like.
“It’s a self-empowerment song about being tired of hearing what people want you to do and just doing whatever you feel like.”
– Pierre Bouvier –
So you think you got me figured out
Won’t you go ahead and tell me what I’m all about
You know I’m dying to hear it
I’m getting sick of all the sticks and stones you throw
Now it feels like it’s opinion overload
I can take it but but I’d rather leave it
Get out of my face
Quit bringing me down
I don’t care what you say
So what part of that don’t you understand?
Hey!
I’m doing things exactly like I want to
What part of that don’t understand?
Hey!
And I don’t give a damn if you don’t approve
What part of that don’t you understand?
Hey!
You’re so tough, throwing punches with your words
You think you’re clever
Let me tell you you’re not the first
Say something I haven’t heard yet
You’re disrespectful
Always quick to judge
I kinda wonder if you’re doing it just because
It must be nice being perfect
Get out of my face
Quit bringing me down
I don’t care what you say
So what part of that don’t you understand?
Hey!
I’m doing things exactly like I want to
What part of that don’t understand?
Hey!
And I don’t give a damn if you don’t approve
What part of that don’t you understand?
Hey!
I won’t apologize
For what I feel inside
I won’t be pushed around
I won’t be backing down
Not doing what you say
I’ll never change my ways
Get out of my face
Hey!
I’m doing things exactly like I want to
What part of that don’t you understand?
Hey!
And I don’t give a damn if you don’t approve
What part of that don’t you understand?
Hey!
(I won’t apologize for what I feel inside)
What part of that don’t you understand?
Hey!
(Not doing what you say, I’ll never change my ways)
What part of that don’t you understand?
