Don't Sell Me Short

[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...
