I want to be root
I want to be root on the server you keep for yourself, I don't need you
I've got to break in
God knows, God knows I want to be root
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first shell
And this time I know, it's for real
I've fallen in love, yeah!
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love
It's strange but it's true
Hey, I can't get over the way you run it like you do
But I have to be root
When I connect to that shell
Oh, how I want to be root, baby
Oh, how I want to be root
Oh, how I want to break in
But life still goes on
I can't get used to living without, living without, living without root
on my shell
I don't want to be a user
God knows
got to make it on my own
So baby, can't you see?
I've got to be root
I want to break in, yeah
I want, I want, I want, I want to be root
