Woke up this morning with the news at my feet
A little suprised I had to take a seat
And while I admit it felt like a treat
I tossed the paper and got something to eat
But I don't need your prize babe, I don't need your prize
Just look into my eyes babe and see how I despise the prize
See how I despise the prize
You give it to prisoners, you give it to kings
An outlaw like me don't need those things
All you want is someone who sings
But you can't buy me with diamonds and rings
I don't need your prize babe, I don't need your prize
Just look into my eyes babe and see how I despise this prize
See how I despise this prize
Take your medal and throw it away
Come on back when you got something to say
Or just save it for a rainy day
Ain't nothing nobel bout me anyway
