I’ve Had It Up to Here

[Verse 1]
Don't want to find myself homogenized
Don't want to become the very thing that I despised
Don't need my mommy feedin' me culture with a spoon
Don't want to end up with as much edge as a balloon

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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 another boy next door
Don't want to pander to the masses 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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Don't want to compromise my art for universal appeal
Don't want to be mass 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 a faceless throng, whoa
That's where you're wrong (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
