[Verse 1] Don´t want to find myself homogenized Don´t want to become the very thing that I despised Don´t need my mommy feedin´ me culture with a spoon
Don´t want to end up with as much edge as a balloon Don´t want my ideas polluted by mediocrity Don´t want my sentiments diluted This is important to me
I tried to give my best to you But you plugged up your ears And now I just can´t take no more I´ve had it up to here
Don´t want to be another boy next door Don´t want to pander to the masses anymore Don´t need the whole wide world to love me Don´t want to win the human race Don´t want my music to be less well-known than my face Don´t want to compromise my art for universal appeal
Don´t want to be mass consumed I´m not a happy meal
I tried to give my best to you But you plugged up your ears And now I just can´t take no more I´ve had it up to here
I moved out from the sticks Nobody believed in me Had to climb my way up Overcome all kinds of adversity Oh, if you think I need approval From a faceless throng, whoa That´s where you´re wrong (that´s where you´re wrong) So wrong
I tried to give my best to you But you plugged up your ears And now I just can´t take no more I´ve had it up to here
(I´ve had it I´ve had it I´ve had it) I´ve had it up to here
