We don't need anymore mountains

Because the trail builders failed to give us passage there

So we can't reach the sky



We don't need anymore 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 something to say



Don't sell me short, you've been wrong too long

Don't brush me off 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, I might not be who you thought



We don't need anymore fables

Because the writers have passed and left us lesson-less

We must find our own way



We don't need anymore 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



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, you've been wrong too long

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, not while I'm still alive



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 want to flush me down the drain



But you can't make me go away!



Don't sell me short, you've been wrong too long

Don't brush me off 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, I might not be who you thought



You've been wrong too long

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, not while I'm still alive
