(We don't need) Any more mountains Because 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've got somethin' to say
Don't sell me short (Don't sell me short) Aah you've been wrong too long Don't brush me off (Don't brush me off) Aah 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 Aah I might not be who you thought
(We don't need) Any more fables Because the writers have passed And left us lesson less And 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 got to take a chance
Don't sell me short (Don't sell me short) Aah you've been wrong too long Don't brush me off (Don't brush me off) Aah just because I don't belong Pass me on by, ignore my cry Forget me when I die Just don't sell me short Ooh not while I'm still alive
Everybody's talkin' 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 And you just want to Flush me down the drain
But you can't make me go away
Don't sell me short (Don't sell me short) Aah You've been wrong too long Don't brush me off (Don't brush me off) Aah 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 Ooh I might not be who you thought
Aah you've been wrong too long Don't brush me off Aah just because I don't belong Pass me on by And forget me when I die Don't sell me short Ooh
