Everybody's Trying to Be My Villain

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
