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
