dan bull - say no more lyrics
[verse 1]
generic pleasantries and greetings, i’m pleased to meet you
seriously, i’m gassed, man, you can read my meter
i’ve forever been a deep believer in being a people+pleaser
’til recently but i can see i’ve been an eager beaver
now i feel fatigued and i really need a breather
i’ve agreed to play games with a whole heap of streamers
and a backlog of rappers impatient for me to feature
i still need to return eternity to friedrich nietzsche
i know, i couldn’t believe it either
i don’t mean to be like this, i guess i’ve got a weak demeanour
meaning automatic acquiescing was my peak procedure
this is the kinda lesson teachers really need to teach you
[chorus]
let me tell you something that i’ve observed, do me a favour
sorry’s really not the hardest word, try to be a little braver
let me tell you something that i’ve observed
because sooner or later
sorry’s really not the hardest word in the world
you’re going to need to say no
when refusing any proposal, you could tell them to go swivel
or show civility, this is your privilege, you know
using an “n” and an “o”, fusing that eminem flow
with john lennononononononononononono, no!
[verse 2]
i’m always taking on more than i can handle
agreeing to something then bailing, that’s so daniel
my to+do list’s useless, so big that it’s a bit absurd
so i’d better learn to use that two+letter word
before i run out of options and i’ve got nowhere left to turn
prematurely spent every penny that i could earn
that path to happiness may not be paved with dollar signs
so it may be time for your behaviour to be modified
don’t apologize for what you prioritize, huh
my god, it’s time that i took my own advice
to decline is a right you can exercise
and on that note, request denied
[chorus]
let me tell you something that i’ve observed, do me a favour
sorry’s really not the hardest word, try to be a little braver
let me tell you something that i’ve observed
because sooner or later
sorry’s really not the hardest word in the world
you’re going to need to say no
when refusing any proposal, you could tell them to go swivel
or show civility, this is your privilege, you know
using an “n” and an “o”, fusing that eminem flow
with john lennononononononononononono, no!
[verse 3]
i’ve had enough of office politics, that stuff is full of tricks
that’s another thing on the list, i’ve gotta fix
i try to keep it in check but that’s a lot of ticks
i need to be selective when it comes to what i pick
so shove your office politics up your orifice
it’s been blimming donkeys since i’ve been on any holidays
but i hope this thing’s alerted any folk that’s introverted
don’t think the being reserved means you serve the whims
of certain convincing persons versed in being coercive
there’s nothing worse so let’s bring that little word in
and if anyone pretends they haven’t heard it?
we’ll shout it louder ’til their eardrums are busting
[outro]
let me tell you something that i’ve observed, do me a favour
sorry’s really not the hardest word, try to be a little braver
let me tell you something that i’ve observed
because sooner or later
sorry’s really not the hardest word in the world
you’re going to need to say no
