Dignify This
This is not the world that exists within your head
After liberation, all the money slowly bled
I've had my own bitterness, but I just disagree
With how privileged you think your life is supposed to be
It's just a matter of degree
I just want the things that belong to me
You just want to have it all for free…
Maybe you can tell me how this whole thing works
Where there's never any problems, but there's lots and lots of perks
You can have a better life, but it takes more than to pout
And I'll assure you from experience: You can sit it out--
Just be prepared to do without
I just want the things that belong to me
Take that any way you want. You can have the key.
(Chorus) I can't dignify your pain
You'd be hard-pressed to explain it to me
I can't dignify your pain
You'd be hard-pressed to explain…
…All your shallowness of feeling
Explain how your suspicions left you reeling
Hop into your car and explain it to your friends
How you plan to trade it in for a Mercedes-Benz,
Or a Volvo--God, it never ends
I just want the things that belong to me
Take that any way you want. You can have the key.
(Chorus)
