I shouldn't have to tell you,
that I want you to say 'thank you',
So why must I?
It is not that I've a need to,
be appreciated by you,
But why shouldn't I?
Is it hard to show you're grateful,
without sounding like you're hateful,
Of course it is,
And I know that all the credit,
you are taking for my edit,
Feels good like this,

And you can say that I am jealous,
And I admit I might be so,
But since you're smart, why don't you tell us,
What you did in the project to make it go,

I shouldn't feel like this,
but I do and I do miss,
The attention that, you get,
Maybe it's just superficial,
and maybe I am wishful,
That I'll be all that, yet,

And you can say that I'm a jerk,
But I feel I've got the right,
Because I did all of the work,
While you acted like a shite,

Is it too much to ask of you,
just 3 words that say "Thank you,
Friend" to me,
And I would have been so happy,
For I did it not for money,
But immortality,
And maybe as an artist,
your mind can't seem to understand this,
But that's why I do, what I do,
So "Thank you's" are my payment,
and you didn't say this statement,
And it's long overdue,

And you can say that I'm just petty,
Though I don't see why I can't,
People think you're smarter than me,
And they can think what they want,
But you know the truth and allowed them,
To think that you were better than,
Me and I don't like that,
Coz you know I'm a better man,

You say you want to be,
what I know one day I'll be,
For real,
Though you sure don't have the talent,
in any form that is apparent,
So what's the deal?

Sure you're more popular with everyone,
and I'm labelled your "silly friend",
I've got a name too, and you know it,
but when there's girls you just pretend,
That I'm not there and you say things about you,
things that I know that aren't true,
So I guess the secret is out,
what a skank you are, boo hoo,

Never try to pass off work,
that isn't yours to start off, jerk,
Coz I will,
Humiliate you by asking,
how you designed and programmed the masking,
And you spill,
You tell us how it's done,
just like how I told you it's done,
But it's wrong,
Coz I didn't tell you everything in,
I had done coz you didn't listen,
So you're wrong,

Payback's a bitch,
and so are you,
All you had to say,
was "Thank you".
