Forrest Dexter – As Long As My Heart Is Beating Lyrics

I'd rather be young and reckless than be a slave to the man
I'm tired of working my job 
For a penny for a penny can't save
I've got a rhythm in my heart a fire in my soul
And I ain't thinking 'bout you, you, you
I'm shouting bye to my boss goodbye to my boss
'Cause I ain't thinking 'bout you

Because it doesn't matter, matter
As long as my heart is beating, beating
I said it doesn't matter, matter
As long as my heart is beating, beating
I'll drive my car on Monday to the beach to sing and play
On my guitar the stress I lay 'cause it doesn't matter, matter

I'd rather be fly and cocky than be a sucker to the system
I'm tired of wrecking my ball 
Breaking sweat, breaking sweat, paying debt
I've got a rhythm in my heart, a fire in my soul
And I ain't thinking 'bout you, you, you
I'm shouting bye to my boss, goodbye to my boss
'Cause I ain't thinking 'bout you

Because it doesn't matter, matter
As long as my heart is beating, beating
I said it doesn't matter, matter
As long as my heart is beating, beating
I'll drive my car on Friday, grab my friends to party
To drink and dance the night away
'Cause it doesn't matter, matter

Now you tell me, you tell me you love me
When I've already told you I'm leaving
Take my chance take my chance hit the freeway
You try to tempt me with the overtime
I'll tell you shove it up your 9 to 5
Then join the people the on the picket line
99 screaming they were left behind

Matter-o-fact I've got a better plan
Fat cat try to catch us if you can
To keep our lives from sinking
We'll hold you bank for ransom

Because it doesn't matter, matter
As long as my heart is beating, beating
I said it doesn't matter, matter
As long as my heart is beating, beating

I'll drive my car on Sunday
To the church to sing and pray
And take my chance before it fades 
'Cause it doesn't matter, matter
