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
