First, I don't know if this is the right place to post. Second, english isn't my mother language, so please forgive any grammar/spelling errors.
So there's this song by Bound for Glory, "The Beast", and I couldn't find the lyrics anywhere. So I tried writing them down, can someone help me with some words I couldn't make out? I pasted down what I've wrote so far. Thanks.

*** = Didn't undestand the word.
** = Didn't understand the whole line.
*word* = Not sure about the word.

Search for "Bound For Glory - The Beast" in youtube to find the song

The Beast


If I said I know ***
It would be a lie
I tried my best to assimilate
But now I'd rather die


You try to tell me that the way I feel
Is *hurtful* and so wrong
You treat me though as I'm the beast
And tell me that I don't belong


Don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
Don't tell me I should step aside
Don't tell me to accept the things that shouldn't be
Don't tell me how to live my life


If I said now that I believe
Would you leave me alone
Or would you keep on molding me
To your perfect little ***


Would you whisper behind my back
And turn away from me
**

Don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
Don't tell me to believe your lies
Don't tell me what to think
Don't tell me who to be
Don't tell me how to live my life


Don't tell me that you *hate*
Don't tell me I don't see
The people that *destroyed my* society
Don't tell me I'm *alone*
Or I don't understand

If I said I know hunger and hate
It would be a lie
I tried my best to assimilate
But now I'd rather die


You try to tell me that [STRIKE]the way[/STRIKE] how I feel
Is hurtful and so wrong
You treat me as though [STRIKE]as[/STRIKE] I'm the beast
And tell me that I don't belong


Don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
Don't tell me I should step aside
Don't tell me to accept the things that shouldn't be
Don't tell me how to live my life


If I said now that I believe
Would you leave me alone
Or would you keep on molding me
To your perfect little clone


Would you whisper behind my back
And turn away from me
Like a sickness in society
A mind that cannot be


Don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
Don't tell me to believe your lies
Don't tell me what to think
Don't tell me who to be
Don't tell me how to live my life


Don't tell me that you hate
Don't tell me I don't see
The people that destroy my society
Don't tell me I am wrong
Or I don't understand
Your political correctness is so out of hand

See above.
