Loud - Tim Minchin
Somewhere along the way my dear
You've made an awful error
You oughtn't blame yourself now come along
You seem to think that people like people what are clever
It's very quaint it's very sweet
But wrong
People don't like smarty-pants what go 'round
Claiming that they know stuff we don't know
Now here's a tip
What you know matters less
Than the volume with which what you don't know's expressed
Content has never been less important so
You have got to be
Loud
Girl you've gotta learn to stand up and stick out from the
Crowd
A little less flat a lot more heel
A little less fact a lot more feel
A little less brains a lot more hair
A little less head a lot more derriere
No one's gonna tell you when to shake your tush
Well you got a light
Don't hide it under a bushel
No one's going to look if you don't stand out
No one's going to listen if you don't shout
No one's gonna care if you don't care
So go and put some highlights in your hair
'Cause you've gotta highlight what you got
Even if what you got is not a lot
You gotta be loud
You gotta give yourself permission to shine
To stand up and be proud proud proud
A little less zzz a lot more zing
A little less shh a lot more schwing
A little less dressing like your mum
A little more bah da ba ba ba da bom
Oh I look nice you don't
No one's gonna tell you when to wiggle your bumba
No one's gonna love you if you don't know the rumba
Everybody loves a little something exotic
But learning a language is over the top
It doesn't really matter if you don't know much
Long as you don't know it with the better clouds
The less you have to sell the harder you sell it
The less you have to say the louder you yell it
The dumber the act the bigger the confession
The less you have to show the louder you dress it
You gotta get up
You gotta get up and be loud loud loud
You gotta give yourself permission to shine
Stand out from the crowd crowd crowd
A little less
A little more
A little less
A little more
No one's gonna tell you when to oh oh oh
No one's gonna show you wan't ya
Huh huh huh
If you want a little bit of mo mo mo
You gotta get around going la la la
No one's going to care if you don't care
So go and put some highlights in your hair
'Coz you gotta highlight what you got
And what do you got
You gotta be loud loud loud
You gotta give yourself permission to shine
To stand out from the crowd crowd crowd
You so need a makeover
You gotta be
Loud
