Don t Sell Me Short lyrics
we don t need any more mountains
because the trail builders
failed to give us passage there
so we can t reach the sky
we don t need any more failure
there is human tragedy
that s written everywhere
and we are all too young to die
like a mystery that s here to stay
some people never go away
cuz they ve got something to say
don t sell me short!
you ve been wrong too long
don t brush me off
just because I don t belong
like it or not I m all you ve got,
dispose when I m shot
just don t sell me short,
I might not be who you thought
we don t need any more fables
because the writers have passed
and left us lessonless
and we must find our own way
we don t need any more privilege
there is vivid desperation
that is powerless
that no surplus can repay
like the fix of rapture in a trance
oh, fates are sealed by circumstance
so you ve got to take a chance
don t sell me short!
you ve been wrong too long
don t brush me off
just because I don t belong
pass me on by, ignore my cry,
forget me when I die
just don t sell me short,
not while I m still alive
everybody s talking about heaven on earth,
I m still trying to figure out
just what I m worth
I m full of emotion
and stuff you can t contain
and you just want to
flush me down the drain
but you can t make me go away
