I am only as I am, Not Satan, I'm not a Superman Cut down like a fighter, my face in the dirt. How did I get to be the Worst in the World Front page cries the prince must die he's the devil in disguise No one doubts a single word they've read Lonely prince lonely castle wonders if it's worth the hassle Would they even believe me if I said
Chorus
I am only as I am, Not Satan, I'm not a Superman I am only as I am, No smoke and mirrors no slight of hand Cut down like a fighter my face in the dirt How'd I get to be the Worst in the World How'd I get to be the Worst in the World The Worst in the World. Paint his face scarlet red. Draw a black hat on the bad guys head It makes him so much easier to see
When a hazy picture tells a story the truth can often be so boring And isn't always as easy to believe
Chorus
I am only as I am, Not Satan, I'm not a Superman I am only as I am, No smoke and mirrors no slight of hand Cut down like a fighter my face in the dirt How'd I get to be the Worst in the World How'd I get to be the Worst in the World The Worst in the World.
Bridge
Here's one thing you'll never read. The prince is just like you and me He's not blessed and he's not cursed. He's nothing better nothing worst Than we're prepared to believe
Chorus
I am only as I am, Not Satan, I'm not a Superman Cut down like a fighter my face in the dirt How'd I get to be the Worst in the World Cut down like a fighter my face in the dirt How'd I get to be the Worst in the World How'd I get to be the Worst in the World Worst In The World
