King Of Anything

[moderator's note: While I agree the line in this song should be "you're so busy

making maps...", but the booklet in her album says, "you're so busy

making masks", so I'm sticking to that]



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 any more of mine

And get out of here fast



I hate to break it to you, babe

But I'm not drowning

There's no one here to save



CHORUS:

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?



You sound so innocent

All full of good intent

Swear you know best

But you expect me to jump up on board with you

And ride off into your delusional sunset



I'm not the one who's lost

With no direction, oh

But you'll never see

You're so busy making masks

With my name on them in all caps

You've got the talking down, just not the listening



CHORUS



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



CHORUS x2



Let me hold your crown, babe
