Title: I Think I'm Better Than You
I never used to think I was better
How I longed to be accepted as 'the same'
But I didn't realise I didn't know the rules
The rules of your pathetic game
"He thinks he's better than us,"
But I was just shy with my head down
You needed justification for your place in the group
A sacrificial lamb to the Alpha's crown
I used to envy the peeps who knew how to play
But I can see now they are like sheep and cattle
And if being myself causes so much offence
Well, bitch, I'm up for that battle
Because there is only one person who will stand up for you in this life
And that very person is you
So retain your dignity and self respect
Find your goals and follow them through
Pedantic. Selfish. Hateful.
I think I'm better than you
Petty. Greedy. Ugly inside.
I think I'm better than you
Excluder. Bully. Destroyer.
I think I'm better than you
So yes, now, I think I'm better than you.
Yes I do.
