I've Had It Up to Here

Don't want to find myself homogenized

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

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

Don't want to be the 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

Don't want to compromise my art for universal appeal

Don't want to be mass consumed

I'm not a happy meal

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

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

That's where you're wrong

So wrong

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

I've had it

I've had it

I've had it up to here
