I don't want to be second best
|
Don't want to stand in line
|
Don't want to fall behind
|
Don't want to get caught out
|
Don't want to do without
|
And the lesson I must learn
|
Is that I've got to wait my turn
|
|
Looks like I got to be hot and cold
|
I got to be taught and told
|
Got to be good as gold
|
But perfectly honestly
|
I think it would be good for me
|
Coz it's a hindrance to my health
|
I'm a stranger to myself
|
|
Miniature disasters and minor catastrophes
|
Bring me to my knees
|
Well I must be my own master
|
Or a miniature disaster will be
|
It will be the death of me
|
|
I don't have to raise my voice
|
Don't have to be underhand
|
Just got to understand
|
That it's gonna be up and down
|
It's gonna be lost and found
|
And I can't take to the sky
|
Before I like it on the ground
|
|
And I need to be patient
|
And I need to be brave
|
Need to discover
|
How I need to behave
|
And I'll find out the answers
|
When I know what to ask
|
But I speak a different language
|
And everybody's talking too fast
|
|
Miniature disasters and minor catastrophes
|
Bring me to my knees
|
Well I must be my own master
|
Or a miniature disaster will be
|
It will be
|
I've got to run a little faster
|
Or a miniature disaster will be
|
It will be
|
I need to know I'll last if a little
|
Miniature disaster hits me
|
It will be the death of me
|
