Don't
Tell me what's in
Tell me how to write
Don't tell me how to win
This fight
Isn't your life
It isn't your right
To take the only thing that's
Mine
Proven over time
It's over your head
Don't try to read between the
Lines
Are clearly defined
Never lose sight of
Something you believe in
Takin' in the view from
The outside
Feeling like the underdog
Watching through the
Window I'm on the outside
Living like the underdog
I've been trying
To justify you
In the end
I will just defy you
To those who understand
I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand
Take me as I am
Not under your command
I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan
Take me as I am
--I love this song by Dream Theater, the lyrics fit some shit in my life at the moment--

I need a whole army of misfit elephants plushie! I'd love to have one truly modeled after the movie.
And somewhat related lyrics by Amanda Palmer in the Dresden Dolls song backstabber:
"So don't tell me what to write
And don't tell me that I'm wrong
And don't tell me not to reference my songs within my songs..."
teehe too awesome puts a smile on my face every time I hear her sing that last part
