Sinéad Oconnor – Queen Of Denmark Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:2 Minute, 8 Second

I wanted to change the world
But I could not even change my underwear
And when the shit got really really out of hand
I had it all the way up to my hairline

Which keeps receding like my self-confidence
As if I ever had any of that stuff anyway
I hope I didnt destroy your celebration
Or your Bat Mitzvah, birthday party or your Christmas

You put me in this cage and thew away the key
It was this us and them shit that did me in
You tell me that my life is based upon a lie
I casually mention that I pissed in your coffee

I hope you know that all I want from you is sex
To be with someone who looks smashing in athletic wear
And if your haircut isnt right youll be dismissed
You get your walking papers and you can leave now

I dont know what to want from this world
I really dont know what to want from this world
I dont know what it is you wanna want from me
You really have no right to want anything from me at all

Why dont you take it out on somebody else?
Why dont you bore the shit out of somebody else?
Why dont you tell somebody else that theyre selfish
A weakling coward, a pathetic fraud

Whos gonna be the one to save me from myself?
You better bring your stun gun and perhaps a crowbar
You better pack a lunch and get up really early
And you should probably get down on your knees and pray

Its really fun to look embarrassed all the time
Like you could never cut the mustard with the big boys
I really dont know who the fuck you think you are
Can I please see your license and your registration?

I dont know what to want from this world
I really dont know what to want from this world
I dont know what it is you wanna want from me
You really have no right to want anything from me at all

Why dont you take it out on somebody else?
Why dont you bore the shit out of somebody else?
Why dont you tell somebody else that theyre selfish
A weakling coward, a pathetic fraud

So Jesus hasnt come in here to pick you up
Youll still be sitting right there ten years from now
Youre just a sucker but well see who gets the last laugh
Who knows, maybe youll get to be the next Queen of Denmark
