Don't Sell Me Short

Dispose me when I'm shot
Aah you've been wrong too long

Flush me down the drain
Don't brush me off
Don't brush me off
Ooh I might not be who you thought
'Cause they've got somethin' to say
Ooh not while I'm still alive
(Don't sell me short)
Just what I'm worth
Because the writers have passed
(Don't sell me short)

And stuff you can't contain
That no surplus can repay
(We don't need)
Pass me on by, ignore my cry
Aah just because I don't belong
So you've got to take a chance
Any more privilege
Like it or not I'm all you've got

There is human tragedy
Oh, fates are sealed by circumstance

(Don't brush me off)
I'm full of emotion
Don't sell me short
Aah just because I don't belong
And we must find our own way
That is powerless
Like a mystery that's here to stay
I'm still trying to figure out
(Don't brush me off)

Because the trail builders
Everybody's talkin' about Heaven on earth
Aah just because I don't belong
So we can't reach the sky
(Don't brush me off)
And you just want to
Failed to give us passage there
Any more failure
Aah just because I don't belong

Aah You've been wrong too long
Aah I might not be who you thought
We are all too young to die
Just don't sell me short
(We don't need)
And forget me when I die
Don't sell me short
Like the fix of rapture in a trance

Just don't sell me short

(Don't sell me short)
Some people never go away
Just don't sell me short
Like it or not I'm all you've got
But you can't make me go away
Forget me when I die
Don't brush me off
Aah you've been wrong too long
(We don't need)
Pass me on by
Don't brush me off

Any more fables
And left us lesson less
That's written everywhere
Don't sell me short
Dispose when I'm shot

Don't sell me short
There is vivid desperation
Aah you've been wrong too long
