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
