You can do what you want to do
You can say what you want to say
You can think what you think you want
It doesn't matter anyway
It's not funny anymore
It's not funny anymore
Play what you want to play
Hear what you wanna hear
Don't worry about the result
Or the effect it has on your career
It's not funny anymore
It's not funny anymore
Act like you want to act
Be what you want to be
Find out who you really are
And don't pay any attention to me
It's not funny anymore
It's not funny anymore
It's not funny anymore
It's not funny anymore
You can say what you want to say
You can think what you think you want
It doesn't matter anyway
It's not funny anymore
It's not funny anymore
Play what you want to play
Hear what you wanna hear
Don't worry about the result
Or the effect it has on your career
It's not funny anymore
It's not funny anymore
Act like you want to act
Be what you want to be
Find out who you really are
And don't pay any attention to me
It's not funny anymore
It's not funny anymore
It's not funny anymore
It's not funny anymore

This is Grant urging punks, artists, people in general to follow their own desires and embrace the possibilities of freedom. The title is suggesting that people grow up and stop limiting themselves by trying to fit in, stop playing their immature, small-minded games. The lyrics seem very plain but they carry a ton of weight: "do what you want to do," "be what you want to be," very liberating words. Grant is more interested in helping people open their minds than he is in telling them off (as most angry punks would do). This song is a massive statement of purpose for the Huskers. As a band they definitely lived these words.
