Don't wanna be second best,
Don't wanna stand in line,
Don't wanna get caught out,
Don't want to do without.
And then the lesson I must learn
Is that I've got to wait my turn.
Looks like I've gotta be hot and cold,
Gotta be taught and told,
I think it would be good for me.
'cause its a hindrance to my health if I'm a stranger to myself
Miniature disasters and minor catastrophes,
Well I must be my own master,
Or a miniature disaster will be,
I don't have to raise my voice,
Don't have to be underhand,
That it's gonna be up and down,
And then I can't take to the sky
Before I like it on the ground
And I need to patient, And I need to be brave,
I need to discover how I need to behave,
And I'll find out the answers when I know what to ask,
But I'm speaking this wrong language,
And everybody's talking too fast
Miniature disasters and minor catastrophes,
Well I must be my own master,
Or a miniature disaster will be, will be (yeah yeah)
Well I've got to 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,
It could be the death of me.
