Lyrics

Misunderstood
Music and Lyrics By Roy Plisko

I'm Young
No. Not Really
But I drink like I'm 21

I'm drunk
No. Not really
But the drinking has just begun

They tell me that I should be careful
They tell me that I should be good
But I know
That I'm
Just misunderstood
Just misunderstood

I read
No. Not Really
But my thoughts really should be admired
I vote
No. Not really
But I think that they all should be fired

They tell me I should pay attention
They tell me this ain't Hollywood
But I know
That I'm
Just misunderstood
Just misunderstood

I'm cheap
No. Not really
But that Wallmart sure takes care of me
I cheat
No. Not really
Cause those taxes are just thievery

Don't tell me that I don't contribute
Don't tell me you think that I should
I know that you think I am foolish
I'd tell you you're wrong if I could
Cause when you are old with your worry
And you'd stop loosing hair if you could
I'll be the one who is smiling
When I wake up at noon feeling good
And I know that I'm
Just misunderstood
Just misunderstood
Just misunderstood
Just misunderstood
Just misunderstood!
Just misunderstood!
Just misunderstood!
