Don't Sell Me Short Lyrics - The New America - Bad Religion

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 

And we are all too young to die 

Like a mystery that's here to stay 

Some people never go away 

cuz 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 when I'm shot 

Just don't sell me short, 

I might not be who you thought 

We don't need any more fables 

because the writers have passed 

and left us lessonless 

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! 

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 

And you just want to 

flush me down the drain 

But you can't make me go away
