Story behind the song

Years before it was included on the Superstone LP, Derrick came to rehearsal with the simple but powerful riff that opens the song. Of the many After Alms songs with histories, this one has remained the most unchanged by time.

Lyrics

They behave like the world wona€™t go around
They behave like the sun will never shine
They behave like the sky will hit the ground
And they behave like everything is fine
You behave just like all the rest
You behave like they told you all along
You behave on what they think is best
But ita€™s wrong yeah ita€™s wrong wrong wrong
I dona€™t wanna be your mental slave
So I just wona€™t behave

They behave like they expect to stumble
They behave like things must stay the same
They behave like the earth is gonna crumble
And they behave like things will never change
You behave just like all the rest 
You behave like they told you all along
You behave like what they said is true
But ita€™s not no ita€™s not not not
I dona€™t wanna be your mental slave
So I just wona€™t behave

No it dona€™t matter what you think or say
Ia€™m gonna do my own thing anyway
Dona€™t wanna be no brainwashed empty-headed slave
No no no
I just wona€™t behave

I dona€™t care what youa€™ve got to say
I just wona€™t behave
Now give it to me
