Don’t Sell Me Short
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 got something to say
Don't sell me short (don't sell me short)
You've been wrong too long
Don't brush me off (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, 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 the fix of rapture in a trance
Oh, fates are sealed by circumstance
So you've gotta take a chance
Don't sell me short (don't sell me short)
You've been wrong too long
Don't brush me off (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, oh
Not while I'm still alive
Everybody's talking about heaven on earth
I'm still tryna 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)
You've been wrong too long
Don't brush me off (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, oh
I might not be who you thought, oh
You've been wrong too long
Don't brush me off (don't brush me off)
Just because I don't belong
Pass me on by, and forget me when I die
Don't sell me short, oh
Just don't sell me short...
'Cause the trail builders failed to give us passage there

Some people never go away
'Cause they got something to say
Don't sell me short (don't sell me short)
You've been wrong too long

Dispose when I'm shot
Just don't sell me short, oh
I might not be who you thought, oh
You've been wrong too long
Don't brush me off (don't brush me off)
Just because I don't belong
Pass me on by, and forget me when I die
Don't sell me short, oh
Just don't sell me short...
