King Of Anything

I know this song has been released as a single for a while now, but it's still the song I'm listening to most at the moment. I suppose that's the real measure of a hit, for me ... if I'm still listening to it and loving it after playing it 100+ times. This song is off Sara Bareilles' upcoming album Kaleidoscope Heart, which also features the song "Uncharted," as heard on the series premiere of Scoundrels. I can't wait for this album to come out on September 7th, but in the meantime, enjoy King of Anything:

King of Anything by Sara Bareilles

Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I'd say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by

You've got opinions, man
We're all entitled to 'em, but I never asked
So let me thank you for your time, and try not to waste anymore of mine
And get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe, but I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything

You sound so innocent, all full of good intent
Swear you know best
But you expect me to jump up on board with you
And ride off into your delusional sunset

I'm not the one who's lost with no direction, oh
But you'll never see
You're so busy making masks with my name on them in all caps
You got the talking down, just not the listening

And who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything

All my life I've tried to make everybody happy
While I just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn to decide

Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything

Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything

Let me hold your crown, babe.
