I don't wanna be second best
Don't wanna stand in line
Don't wanna fall behind
Don't wanna get caught out
Don't want to do without
Oh, and the lesson I must learn
Is that I've got to wait my turn

Looks like I got to be hot and cold
I got to be taught and told
Got to be good as gold
But perfectly honesty
Oh, I think it would be good for me
'Cos it's a hindrance to my health
I'm a stranger to myself

Oh, miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes
Bring me to my knees
Well, I must be my own master
Or a miniature disaster will be all
It will be the death of me

I don't have to raise my voice
Don't have to be underhand
Just got to understand that
That it's gonna be up and down
It's gonna be lost and found
And I can't take to the sky
Before I like it on the ground

And I need to be patient
And I need to be brave
Need to discover
How I need to behave
And I'll find out the answers
When I know what to ask
But I speak a different language
And everybody's talking too fast

Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes
Bring me to my knees, yeah
Well, I must be my own master
Or a miniature disaster will be 
Will be the death 

Well, I've got to run a little faster
Or a miniature disaster will be, will be 
Oh, well I need to know I'll last if
A little miniature disaster hits me, oh
It will be the death of me
