Let's take it from the top
Oh, keep your chin up
You'll never be good enough
'Til I see what I want

Every move I make is scrutinized
And when I sleep, I feel their eyes on me
Spare no comfort for the comfortable
(Oh, ah-ah-ah-ah)

I think I wanna piss you off

You won't like it when I raise my voice
(So won't you dance with me?)
You owe me all I want
(It's not a fallacy)
Do it the way I say
(I'm just trying to help)
'Cause you're not a real musician

To me

Step in time to my voice
You'll be made into a proper artist

Does it make you mad when I sound like this?
I get to make the puzzle pieces
Shut your stupid fucking mouth
Let me do the talking
I'm too tired to hear you out

You won't like it when I raise my voice
(So won't you dance with me?)
You owe me all I want
(It's not a fallacy)
Do it the way I say
(I'm just trying to help)
'Cause you're not a real—

Why can't I do the things I wanna do?
Is it not enough to create?
What gives you the right to shut me down?
'Cause you're not a real musician

No dusty books could tell me otherwise
Should every song sell its soul to the cavaliers?
Am I not enough? I've been trying so hard
'Cause you're not a real musician

To me
