King of Anything

Living Rm 

Oh (oh, oh, oh)
Oh (oh, oh, oh)
Oh (oh, oh, oh)
Oh (oh, oh, oh)

Keep drinking coffee
Stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I'd say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet
And count the cars that pass by
You've got opinions, man
We're all entitled to 'em
But I never asked
So let me thank you for your time
And try not to waste anymore of mine
Get out of here fast
I hate to break it you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save


REFRAIN:
Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything


Oh (oh, oh, oh)
Oh (oh, oh, oh)
Oh (oh, oh, oh)
Oh (oh, oh, oh)

You sound so innocent
So full of good intent
You swear you know best
But you expect me to
Jump up on board with you
Right off into your delusional sunset
I'm not the one who's lost
With no directions, oh
But you won't ever see
You're so busy making maps
With my name on them on all caps
You got the talking down, just not the listening

REFRAIN


BRIDGE:
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


REFRAIN


Let me hold your crown, babe

The catchy melody has driven me crushing on this song for some time now.  I've got no jerk to shoo away at the moment and tell this to but, should there be one in the future... this would come in quite handy :)
