I don't want to be second best Don't want to stand in line Don't want to fall behind Don't want to get caught out Don't want to do without And the lesson I must learn Is that I've got to wait my turn Looks like I got to be hot and cold I got to be taught and told Got to be good as gold But perfectly honest I think it would be good for me Coz it's a hindrance to my health I'm a stranger to myself Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes Bring me to my knees Well I must be my own master Or a miniature disaster will be It will be the d**h of me I don't have to raise my voice Don't have to be underhand Just got to understand That it's gonna be up and down It's gonna be lost and found And I can't take to the sky Before I like it on the ground And i need to be patient And i need to be brave Need to discover How i need to behave And I'll find out the answers When i know what to ask But i speak a different language And everybody's speaking too fast Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes Bring me to my knees Well I must be my own master I've got to run a little faster I need to know I'll last if a little Miniature disaster hits me It could be the d**h of me
