Rivers Cuomo - I've Had It Up To Here lyrics

[Verse 1] Don't want to find myself h*mogenized Don't want to become the very thing that I despised Don't need my mommy feeding me culture with a spoon Don't want to end up with as much edge as a balloon Don't want my ideas polluted by mediocrity Don't want my sentiments diluted This is important to me [Chorus] I tried to give my best to you But you plugged up your ears And now I just can't take no more I've had it up to here [Verse 2] Don't want to be the another boy next door Don't want to pander to the ma**es anymore Don't need the whole wide world to love me Don't want to win the human race Don't want my music to be less well-known than my face Don't want to compromise my art for universal appeal Don't want to be ma** consumed I'm not a happy meal [Chorus] I tried to give my best to you But you plugged up your ears And now I just can't take no more I've had it up to here [Bridge] I moved out from the sticks Nobody believed in me Had to climb my way up Overcome all kinds of adversity Oh, if you think I need approval from the faceless throng, oh That's where you're wrong So wrong [Chorus] I tried to give my best to you But you plugged up your ears And now I just can't take no more I've had it up to here [Outro] I've had it I've had it I've had it I've had it up to here
