Lyrics

Right now we've got a reason to live

Expressing a current positive outlook on life.

But it's got nothing to do with you

Rejecting any connection or relevance to someone specific.

We've got a lot of places we're gonna go

Anticipating future experiences and opportunities.

A lot of things that we're gonna do

Expecting a variety of accomplishments and activities.


In your world we may be no one

Acknowledging insignificance in someone else's world.

But what makes you think you're someone?

Questioning the perceived importance of the other person.

We have got just what we need

Feeling content with what is currently possessed.

And we don't need you

Asserting independence and self-sufficiency.


No one, no one

Emphasizing self-reliance and autonomy.

No one, no one

-

I can tell where our future lies

Confidently foreseeing the path ahead.

And you can tell we've got nothing to hide

Being transparent, with nothing to conceal.

The way things seem to me right now

Expressing optimism about the present situation.

Everything will be just fined

Believing that everything will turn out well.


We're going to do it all our way

Committing to pursue goals independently.

We don't need you to darken our day

Rejecting external negativity affecting one's mood.

We've never given up before

Highlighting past resilience and determination.

And this stand won't be our first time

-

No one, no one

Reiterating the theme of individuality and self-direction.

No one, no one

-

No one's gonna tell me

Declaring resistance to external influence and control.

I'm gonna do it my way

-

No one's gonna tell me

-

How to get it done

-

No one, no

Repeating the rejection of external directives.

No one's gonna tell me now

-

No one's gonna tell me

Continuing to assert independence in decision-making.

I'm gonna do it my way

-

No one's gonna tell me

-

How to get it done

-

No one's gonna tell me

Further emphasizing determination to follow one's own path.

I'm gonna do it my way

-

No one's gonna tell me

-

How to get it done

-

No one's gonna tell me

Continuing to resist external guidance or interference.

I'm gonna do it my way

-

No one's gonna tell me

-

How to get it done

-

No one's gonna tell me

Repeatedly stating the intention to do things independently.

I'm gonna do it my way

-

No one's gonna tell me

-

How to get it done

-

No one's gonna tell me

Reinforcing the commitment to self-determination.

I'm gonna do it my way

-

No one's gonna tell me

-

How to get it done
