"Appreciate Me, Damnit"
It’s not every day that I hear
Compliments, and I have come to fear
That I will quickly jeer
At someone who is being sincere
Nobody knows how I feel inside
As the sun shines, I feel so unappreciated
So unnoticed like I’m a ghost or tied
Up in a straight-jacket and so irritated
Like I annoy everyone at every moment
People, this is my time to shine, but the record’s broken
I go on every day leaving part of myself behind
I wish I had an inside maid to come and bring it by
But there isn’t, there’s too many opportunities and the work
Is harden than life itself, it’s incredibly absurd
'I wanna be this' and 'I wanna be that'
But you can’t cause there ain’t no latch
You can pull, you have to work hard
Harder than the ‘harder’ you defined yourself
Impossibility seems much more likely, PRESS START
To begin the game of life of someone else
The McDonald’s burger flipper, your new career
It’s exactly what I’ve feared all these years
I will not become a statistic
I am a lot more than all of this
I’m mixed up, my knuckles have busted
Nails that I’ve chewed have turned to dust (and)
I’m a grown man, I do what I can
Do I have to go and buy some farmland
To prove it? Or what? Tell me
Cause I need help, please don’t fall for me
That’s why things are the way they seem
My mind and what I speak
Are two different things
One requires no thinking
The other does the opposite
It’s just a function like when you turn on a faucet
And it runs, like it’s supposed to
That’s the way everything happens to you
Automatically, it happens like that
If only I could turn off the light with a single clap
Appreciate Me, Damnit - I deserve it
Create me, your mind’s upset - ain’t it?
Devote me to which you found me and took
Openly, I’m so easy to read - but don’t judge my look
Don’t try and take advantage
Just ‘cause I’m not in charge don’t mean nothin’
I can easily stop and damage
Your insides, I bet that’ll change your opinion
Haha, don’t believe me then
I’ll come around the corner and send
You straight through a wall
I don’t care whether or not you bawl
Afterwards, now get your lazy butt up
And pick my crap up before I call your bluff
I’m not exactly weak or rough
But I’m not exactly tough, either
You’re being tricked by the evil demon’s teacher
A she-devil at large
Get outta my way Bush - I’m in charge!
