Don’t Sell Me Short

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Like a mystery that's here to stay Some people never go away 'Cause they've got something to say [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Like a fix of rapture in a trance Oh-oh, fates are sealed by circumstance So you've got to take a chance [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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...
