I'm soo tired of asking, I'm tired of saying please
Why should I wait for you, when I can take the lead
You say call when I'm ready, when I'm ready you'll know
By then you just might be too late for the show
I'm doin' it just because my hands are moving
I'm doin' it just because I want to get out
I'm doin' it 'cause soo many say I shouldn't
And I'm gonna make it loud, just 'cause
Saint Cecilia's mission, by the waterside
The local heart of culture, where music can thrive
They won't take me seriously I am sad to say
Because I'm not bringing them, ten people who'll pay
I'm doin' it just because my hands are moving
I'm doin' it just because I want to get out
I'm doin' it 'cause soo many say I shouldn't
And I'm gonna make it loud, just 'cause
So I'll keep up my leg work, they'll see me riding by
And keep saying no to me, and asking themselves why
Downtown saint Cecilia's mission to preserve
Is supposed to be for us, but I don't see the worth
I'm doin' it just because my hands are moving
I'm doin' it just because I want to get out
I'm doin' it 'cause soo many say I shouldn't
And I'm gonna make it loud, just 'cause
