Misunderstood Lyrics

Misunderstood Text

---

Each and every day i try to be the best i can
mimsy-ing the borogoves on stoves and in the pan
jabberwock jabberwock
who are you to sit and judge
to point at me and say in every way
that what is bad is never good
well sure i hold a grudge
burn down a house or two
the normal average things that any jabberwocky would
where would you all be without someone around like me?
saddled with my hapless pedigree!

jabberwock jabberwock!
im not such a heartless beast
as far as monsters go
a normal joe
that has a hearty appetite
make any meal a feast
a little seasoning
to sharpen claws that catch and satisfy the jaws that bite
even so you measure me against what you call good
leaving me oh so misunderstood
jabberwock jabber wock!
its just the way that mamma said
the more you try to get ahead
youre overcooked and underfed
and hated like the plague instead of valued for behaving like you should


That's why you know you need me the way the flowers need the rain
you can't know pleasure if you don't know pain
every time i fry or boil or i roast you
I'm only doin just what i should
Don't tell me that the way that I'm Actin is too wrong to be right
There'd be no one questing and no white knight
im only doin what im supposed to,
i wouldnt change a thing if I could
so ill stay misunderstood

jabberwock jabberwock

who are they to sit and sneer
at you and me and write
in black and white
that we are bad and they are good
who would they have left to fear
what would the goodies get
well you can bet the goodies wouldnt look so good
just because i like to cook
the people that I meet
doesnt mean i dont deserve to eat?

he's just the way hes always been
a big green tail and double chin
would i look fat if i were thin?
be twice as mad without a twin
no i dont think youd like me anyway

But still you know you need me the way the flowers need the rain
you can't know pleasure if you don't know pain
every time i fry or i boil or i roast you
I'm only doin just what i should
Dont tell me that the way that im actins too wrong to be right
Thered be no one great lady and no white knight
im only doin what im supposed to,
i wouldnt change a thing if I could
so ill stay misunderstood

he's just a __ a big gourmet who serves his guest in a flambee
how to stand an souffle
believe me i was born this way
so misunderstood
