Queen of Denmark

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 have no right to want anything from me at all

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

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

Weepy coward and pathetic

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

You'd better bring a 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

Can 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 wouldn't 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 tell somebody else that they're selfish?

Weepy coward and pathetic

So Jesus hasn't come in here to pick you up

You'll still be sitting here ten years from now

You're just a sucker but we'll see who gets the last laugh

Who knows, maybe you'll be the next queen of Denmark
