Dennis DeYoung parody lyrics
Don’t Call Me the Worst
For use with Don’t Wait For Heroes
(What does the markup on these lyrics mean?)
I got my dreams
I know you think them crazy
All that I gave up
Cause I got this burning desire in me
But she did leave
While normal dead slept
I stayed up after life thinking
And making my plans
Cause there’s something somehow ahead for me
Something ahead for me
So don’t you tell me that I’m wasting my time, ruining my life
And that the odds against me are a million to one, am not concerned
I am no thing that any lowly soul I’m gonna take
Is going to break
Wait and see
You’re gonna hear from me
So don’t call me the-worst, you’ll regret insults
I got the power
Winners are losers
And is ha - ving ten - tac - les really a crime?
Really a crime? [x2]
If you believe in that miracle trait to call out your name
And if you think the lost-soul (will) always be someone else, never yourself
What has entitled you is gonna have me turning on you
Wishing you knew
The blight you find
Well, it could change your life
So don’t call me the-worst
I let you
Make your own choices
I know you’re queasy
When I come around
But my advice is
Don’t call me the-worst, you’ll regret insults
I got the power
Winners are losers
And is ha - ving ten - tac - les really a crime? Hey!
Ten - tac - les really a crime? Say no!
Aye aye aye
I’m talking to you
Aye aye aye
I’m getting through to you
Aye aye aye, ten - tac - les really a crime?
I am the sea
I, I, I am the sea [x2]
Ten - tac - les really a crime?
What-can-I-do ab - out it? Aye aye aye
I’m getting through to you
Aye aye aye, hey hey I’m talking to you
Aye aye aye, ten - tac - les really a crime?
