Twelfth Night - Greatness Lyrics |
2018 Public Works musical adaptation of Shakespeare's comedy Twelfth Night the Musical - Greatness Lyrics
(Music & Lyrics by Shaina Taub)
Malvolio: I hate the dark I’m not crazy Is that a bat?! Am I crazy?
I did exactly what she said to do I should’ve known this was too good to be true Is this what I get for doing everything right? Is this my due?
If some are born great And some achieve greatness And some have greatness thrust upon them Then I can’t help that I was born great! I didn’t ask to be the best Things would be much easier being average like the rest
No one’s ever understood me It’s nothing really new In middle school they locked me in a locker Always picked me last in gym class soccer I think everyone was scared because Of how virtuous and smart I was Cause my mom said: ‘don’t let the bullies get you down, malvolio. You’re a very special boy, malvolio. And someday they’ll all see So why has no one realized my greatness but me?
They say I’m snobby But I just have high standards for my precious time Is that a crime? They say I’m power hungry But I’m just following my dream of rising strong Is that so wrong?
They say I’m vain But loving yourself is a healthy thing!
They say I’m strict But someone’s got to keep things running! I’m crazy, so they say
Well call me crazy, But if being me is crazy Then let them laugh away!
Yes, I was born great And I will achieve greatness And I won’t be afraid of my own fate I’ll write them all a letter Saying I deserve much better And mom, I’ll make you proud, just you wait
Sometimes it’s lonely being great
