Song Lyrics
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 ...
