Miniature Disasters

Don't wanna be second best

Don't wanna stand in line

Don't wanna fall behind

Don't wanna get caught out

Don't want to do without

Oh and the lesson I must learn

Is that I've got to wait my turn

Looks like I gotta be hot and cold

Gotta be taught and told

Got to be good as gold

But perfectly, honestly

Oh, I think it would be good for me

'Cause it's a hindrance to my health

If I'm a stranger to myself

Oh, miniature disasters and minor catastrophes

Bring me to my knees

Well, I must be my own master

Or a miniature disaster will be, oh

It will be the death of me

I don't have to raise my voice

Don't have to be underhand

Just gotta understand

That it's gonna be up and down

It's going to be lost and found

Oh, 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 talkin' too fast

Miniature disasters and minor catastrophes

Bring me to my knees, yeah

Well, I must be my own master

Or a miniature disaster will be, will be, yeah, yeah

Well, I've gotta run a little faster

Or a miniature disaster will be, will be

Oh well, I need to know I'll last

If a little miniature disaster hits me, oh, oh

It will be the death of me
