You’ve got opinions, man

So let me thank you for your time, and try not to waste anymore of mine

And get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe, but I’m not drowning

Who cares if you disagree?

So you dare tell me who to be?

You sound so innocent, all full of good intent

But you’ll never see
You’re so busy making maps with my name on them in all caps

You got the talking down, just not the listening
get down: 下来，拿下
And who cares if you disagree?

Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?

All my life I’ve tried to make everybody happy
While I just hurt and hide

Waiting for someone to tell me it’s my turn to decide
wait for: 等待 my turn: 轮到我，我的回合 turn: 转动，转向

So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?
Let me hold your crown, babe.
