Tall Poppy

I've always tried to do my best

Guess I aimed a little higher than the rest

Always got knocked down

I'm merely trying to achieve

The notion isn't really all that naive

To the sheep it seems to be



[Chorus]

I know you'd like to cut me down to size

So go on, keep spreading those lies

Everyone's gotta have someone they just despise

Might as well be me

The tall poppy



I seem to stand out from the crowd

I shouldn't smile too much or act too proud

A sign of weakness so it seems

You're hanging out for me to lose

Saying that I'm just too big for my boots

Well, actually they fit just fine



[Chorus]

I know you'd like to cut me down to size

So go on, keep spreading those lies

Everyone's gotta have someone they just despise

Might as well be me

The tall poppy



[Instrumental]



[Chorus]

I know you'd like to cut me down to size

So go on, keep spreading those lies

Everyone's gotta have someone they just despise

Might as well be me

The tall poppy

The tall poppy

The tall poppy
