Sellout Lyrics


Lately all my friends are talking 'bout me
They see something different 'bout me
All I ever hear is, "Man, you've changed"Because I don't act like everyone
I march to the beat of a different drum
They think I'm going through some kind of phaseNow they call me names
I can hear them say, say, sayI'm a sellout
I'm a loser
I'm a yes-man
And I guess I'm never gonna live it down
I'm a selloutWell, I must say that my first inclination
Was to save my reputation
Try to blend right back into the crowdBut the more and more I tried to hide
The less and less I could deny
The truth was screaming at me clear and loudI gave up the fight
I guess they were right, right, right, rightI'm a sellout
(Sold out for the King)
I'm a loser
(More of Jesus, less of me)I'm a yes-man

(Yes, I will do anything He needs)
And I guess I'm never gonna live it down
I'm a selloutI gave up the fight
I guess they were right, right, right, rightI'm a sellout
(Sold out for the King)
I'm a loser
(More of Jesus, less of me)Well, I'm a yes-man
(Yes, I will do anything He needs)
And I guess I'm never gonna live it downI'm a sellout
(Sold out for the King)
I'm a loser
(More of Jesus, less of me)Well, I'm a yes-man
(Yes, I will do anything He needs)
And I guess I'm never gonna live it downI'm a sellout
(Sold out for the King)
I'm a loser
(More of Jesus, less of me)I'm just a yes-man
(Yes, I will do anything He needs)
And I guess I'm never gonna live it down
I'm a sellout
