I don't care what you say.
There ain't no way that I'm gonna stay.
You talk so smooth, 'n you act real cool,
But all you push is a bunch of rules…in this place.
Tellin' me when, where, and what to do.
But now I'm tellin' you, man: "I'm through".
Yah, one fine day, when you're turned away,
I'll gather my things and be on my way…from this place.
A.W.O.L. It's gonna be A.W.O.L.
Over the wall and away from here, yah, A.W.O.L.
What ya want with me? What ya lookin' for?
You keep shakin' me down, I can't take no more.
Always checkin' on me, you won't let me be.
But just you wait 'n see, I'll get me free…from this place.
A.W.O.L. It's gonna be A.W.O.L.
Over the wall and away. from here, yah, A.W.O.L.
A.W.O.L. I’m goin’ for A.W.O.L.
Absence without official leave.
You're always sayin' you know what's good for me,
But you ain't me, man, and you can't see.
And it ain't right what's happenin' here.
You're foolin' around, yes you are, with privilege and fear.
Tellin' me what's right, 'n tellin' me what's wrong.
You better believe it, I ain't takin' this for long.
You can lock the doors, keep me busy with chores.
Organize my days, but I'll find a way…to quit this place.
A.W.O.L. It's gonna be A.W.O.L.
Over the wall and away from here, yah, A.W.O.L.
A.W.O.L. I’m goin’ for A.W.O.L.
Absence without official leave, yah, A.W.O.L.
Check it out now! A.W.O.L.
