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.
Why not me?
Do I not deserve a nomination?
The reviews were raves to be sure
Fun for the whole family
Look no farther than Thor
Why not me?
I left my family to fight for what's right
Saved the world from hte devil below
But I'm sure it was hard for
Sir Daniel Day Lewis to to learn how to sow
Why not me?
I battle Cate Blanchett
Why not me?
I hid a sword in my dress
We both faced death it's true
But at least Lady Bird got into NYU
Why not me?
In All The Money in the World
They kidnapped one kid
And they got a nomination
I killed hundreds
I guess that's what you get
When you're not
Classically handsome
Oscars so white
But I guess not for me
I need to raise my quote
So I can finally fix my teeth
Horror movies always get the shaft
Hey, let me do one!
I peed while hanging from a zipline
Meryl Streep has never done that
We'd like to petition for
A new category
Best Chris
Or you could just write Chris
On an Oscar
And we can chare it
Trade off on weekends
Roll call!
Hemsworth!
Pratt!
Evans!
Pine!
Rock!
What? It's us! The Chrises!
Go Chris!
And why not The Snowman?
It was a box office smash
(What's that? It wasn't?)
Well Oscars doesn't care
Since it was critically acclaimed
(7% positive? Are you serious?)
Well I thought it was a neat idea
In The Shape of Water
I heard that a lady boned a fishman
But if you're gonna bone a fishman
Why not bone a fish like this man?
And what even is art?
How do you define its importance?
If popcorn movies are bad
How come popcorn's so delicious?
And when I blow up 6 cars
How is that worse than Schindler's List is?
Why not me?
We saved the world
Why not me?
I am Toretto
Why not me?
I heard a lady boned a fishman
Why not me?
The Snowman was underrated!
Why not me?
We'd like to petition for
A new category
Best Chris
I have terrible teeth
Why not me?
I got a cool new haircut
Why not me?
I am Groot
Why not us?
