On a day not quite like any other

In a land both warm and sweet,

You were born such a proud, proud daughter

A smirk on your face, the world at your feet.

Now you move in awkward circles,

Now your smile is looking drawn,

You talk with such vague authority,

You are looking so forlorn.

I refuse to believe

All the things that I have heard,

And if you want anything

Just say the word.

From the town into the city,

Full of awe and hope you come.

Thought you'd found the welcome stranger,

Listen, I'll give you the drum.

He is doomed, his shares are down,

His name is shit all over town.

You know he don't care how you feel,

But it's up to you girl, make it real.

I refuse to believe

All the things that I have heard,

And if you want anything

Just say the word.

Just say the word, just say the word,

Just say the word, just say the word,

Just say the words...

I can but do what I am asked,

I will but do what I'm allowed.

You'd take the job, but you're not sure

I'm so precious, you're so proud.

It's your life, it's your time,

I'm glad that you won't wait in line.

The harder fought, the better won,

It's worthwhile, but it's not much fun.

I refuse to believe

All the things that I have heard,

And if you want anything

And if you want anything

And if you want anything

Just say the word

Just say the word

Just say the word

Say the word, say the word

Just say the word.
