Lyrics:

Why you can't be what you want to be
Why you can't be what you want to be
Why you can't be what you want to be
Why you can't be what you want to be

Cars and bars all over this place
The politicians still lie to your face
Bankers get high over-inflated rates
Can't get a job so I'm outta this place
Can't pay the rent, can't show my face in this town no more

Same tired old religion, timeshare[?], politics, Twitter, and on Facebook
Cancel the paper, the boy band's down[?]
No cyberspace, just world defiant cretan[?]

Meanwhile, what have we here
No Cote Du Rhone, just supermarket beer
I just got busted outside my front door
Making new old fashioned lies[?]
Lipstick chicks with sexy smiles
Turning tricks at night on the boulevard
Police surveillance gives me the creeps

Those green[?] and greedy men
Taking our homes and robbing us blind
They cover their tracks, those smiling men
On the TV they say everything's gonna be fine

Got no money
Sorry honey
It's not so funny, is it?

Got to get far away from here
Where there's Cote Du Rhone instead of supermarket beer
The television sucks and the broadband's out
We're in the depression and [?] all over our lives

Same as it was in '68
Can't explain
Just who's to blame?
Oh honey, the broadband's down
Not funny
Can't complain
Would you like a glass of wine?
Cote Du Rhone

When I was just a lad
I dreamed about a place
All filled with happy faces
And now that I'm a man
My feelings are the same
But they will never change me

You can't do what you want anymore
You can't say what you want anymore
You can't be what you want anymore
Be yourself

I won't do what they want anymore
I won't be what they want anymore
I will be me
I won't be what they want anymore

You can be
You can be
You can be anything you want
You can be anything you want
You can be
You can be
You can be anything you want
You can be
You can be
You can be anything you want
You can be...
