Lyrics
SPECIALTY
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.
Don't chop off his head
To make yourself look tall
Don't tear a strip off
To make yourself feel wonderful
Who wants to compare
As if this was a competition
Leave that to teachers at school
Must preserve their tradition
'Bout time you realized
You are a specialty
There is no one like you
Spend your life worrying
'Bout what you could have been
Can't you like being you
Don't need a scalp
Don't need to be a juror
Take care of yourself
No need to feel so insecure
Waste of energy
To prove a holier than him
Waste of energy
To find out who commits what sin
'Bout time you realized
You are a specialty
There is no one like you
Spend your life worrying
'Bout what could have been
Can't you like being you
Don't chop off his head ...
'Bout time you realized ...
