Can't do anything
Can one say
a. I can't do anything I want. There are certain rules I have to observe. There are limits to my freedom.
b. I can't do anything I want. The only thing I can do is obey orders, and I don't want to do that.
?
.
My feeling is that they both work. The first sentence is the same in both cases, but means different things in each case.
Many thanks.
