Say No More - Dan Bull

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

Till 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

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!

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

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!

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 till their eardrums are busting

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
