we dont need any more mountains
because the trail builders
failed to give us passage there
so we cant reach the sky
we dont need any more failure
there is human tragedy
thats written everywhere
and we are all too young to die
like a mystery thats here to stay
some people never go away
cuz theyve got something to say
dont sell me short!
youve been wrong too long
dont brush me off
just because I dont belong
like it or not Im all youve got,
dispose when Im shot
just dont sell me short,
I might not be who you thought
we dont need any more fables
because the writers have passed
and left us lessonless
and we must find our own way
we dont 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 youve got to take a chance
dont sell me short!
youve been wrong too long
dont brush me off
just because I dont belong
pass me on by, ignore my cry,
forget me when I die
just dont sell me short,
not while Im still alive
everybodys talking about heaven on earth,
Im still trying to figure out
just what Im worth
Im full of emotion
and stuff you cant contain
and you just want to
flush me down the drain
but you cant make me go away
