Queen Of Denmark Lyrics - Queen Of Denmark - John Grant

I wanted to change the world 

But I could not even change my underwear 

And when the shit got really, really out of hand 

I had it all the way up to my hairline 

Which keeps receding like my self-confidence 

As if I ever had any of that stuff anyway 

I hope I didn't destroy your celebration 

Or your bar mitzvah, birthday party, or your Christmas 

You put me in this cage and threw away the key 

It was this 'us and them' shit that did me in 

You tell me that my life is based upon a lie 

I casually mention that I pissed in your coffee 

I hope you know that all I want from you is sex 

To be with someone that looks smashing in athletic wear 

And if your haircut isn't right, you'll be dismissed 

Get your walking papers and you can leave now 

Don't know what to want from this world 

I really don't know what to want from this world 

I don't know what it is you wouldn't want from me 

You really have no right to want anything from me at all 

Why don't you take it out on somebody else? 

Why don't you bore the shit out of somebody else? 

Why don't you tell somebody else that they're selfish? 

Weaklin' coward pathetic... 

Who's gonna be the one to save me from myself? 

You'd better bring your stun gun and perhaps a crowbar 

You'd better pack a lunch and get up really early 

And you should probably get down on your knees and pray 

It's really fun to look embarrassed all the time 

Like you could never cut the mustard with the big boys 

I really don't know who the fuck you think you are 

Could I please see your license and your registration? 

Don't know what to want from this world 

I really don't know what to want from this world 

I don't know what it is you want to want from me 

You have no right to want anything from me at all 

Why don't you take it out on somebody else? 

Why don't you bore the shit out of somebody else? 

Why don't you tell somebody else that they're selfish? 

Weepy coward and pathetic...
