Bad Religion - Don't Sell Me Short lyrics
[Bad Religion - Don't Sell Me Short lyrics]
We don't need any more mountains
'Cause 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
We are all too young to die
Like a mystery that's here to stay
Some people never go away
'Cause they've got something to say
Don't sell me short (Don't sell me short)
Oh oh, you've been wrong too long
Don't brush me off (Don't brush me off)
Oh oh, just because I don't belong
Like it or not I'm all you've got
Dispose me when I'm shot
Just don't sell me short, oh oh oh oh
I might not be who you thought
We don't need any more fables
'Cause the writers have passed
And left us lessonless
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 a fix of rapture in a trance
Oh oh, fates are sealed by circumstance
So you've got to take a chance
Don't sell me short (Don't sell me short)
Oh oh, you've been wrong too long
Don't brush me off (Don't brush me off)
Oh oh, just because I don't belong
Pass me on by, ignore my cry
Forget me when I die
Just don't sell me short, oh oh oh oh
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
You just wanna flush me down the drain
But, you can't make me go away
Don't sell me short (Don't sell me short)
Oh oh, you've been wrong too long
Don't brush me off (Don't brush me off)
Oh oh, just because I don't belong
Like it or not I'm all you've got
Dispose me when I'm shot
Just don't sell me short, oh oh oh oh
I might not be who you thought
Don't sell me short (Don't sell me short)
Oh oh, you've been wrong too long
Don't brush me off (Don't brush me off)
Oh oh, just because I don't belong
Pass me on by, you can forget me when I die
Don't sell me short, oh oh oh oh
'Cause 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
We are all too young to die
Like a mystery that's here to stay
Some people never go away
'Cause they've got something to say
Don't sell me short (Don't sell me short)
Oh oh, you've been wrong too long
Don't brush me off (Don't brush me off)
Oh oh, just because I don't belong
Like it or not I'm all you've got
Dispose me when I'm shot
Just don't sell me short, oh oh oh oh
I might not be who you thought
We don't need any more fables
'Cause the writers have passed
And left us lessonless
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 a fix of rapture in a trance
Oh oh, fates are sealed by circumstance
So you've got to take a chance
Don't sell me short (Don't sell me short)
Oh oh, you've been wrong too long
Don't brush me off (Don't brush me off)
Oh oh, just because I don't belong
Pass me on by, ignore my cry
Forget me when I die

Oh oh, just because I don't belong
Pass me on by, you can forget me when I die
Don't sell me short, oh oh oh oh
