Everybody's trying to be my villain,
And I was unaware of the vacancy.
Some people predict bad news,
And hope it never happens.
And others are content to assume authority.
And maybe someday I will not be destitute,
And I will be kicked by a better brand of boot.
Everybody's trying to be my villain,
The line keeps getting longer,
And that cannot be good.
I guess I should be grateful for all of the attention,
I guess I should be bitter that I'm never understood.
I asked them for a hand,
They lifted a finger,
Due to some concerns about losing their grip.
I understood completely,
And thanked them for the effort.
But I'm not one for breaking bottles,
On a sinking ship.
And maybe someday I will not be destitute,
And I will be kicked by a better brand of boot.
Everybody's trying to be my villain,
Villain, oh.
Everybody's trying, trying to be my villain,
Villain, oh
