Greatness Lyrics by Shaina Taub

Twelfth Night (Original Public Works Cast Recording)

2018

[MALVOLIO]
I hate the dark
I'm not crazy
Is that a bat!?
Am I crazy?
I did exactly what she said to do
Should have known it was too good to be true
Is this what I get for doing everything right?
Is this my due?
If some are born great, some achieve greatness, some have greatness thrust upon them
Then I can't help that I was born great, I didn't ask to be the best
Things would be much easier being average like the rest
No one's ever understood me
It's nothing really new
In middle school they locked me in a locker
Always picked me last in gym class soccer
I think everyone was scared because
Of how virtuous and smart I was
'Cause my mom said
Don't let the bullies get you down, Malvolio
You are a very special boy, Malvolio
And some day they'll all see
Ao why has no one realized my greatness but me?
They say I'm snobby
I just have high standards for my precious time
Is that a crime?
They say I'm power-hungry
But I'm jus reaching for the stars, where I belong
Is that so wrong?
They say I'm vain
But loving yourself is a healthy thing
They say I'm strict
But someone's gotta keep things running
I'm crazy, so they say
Well, call me crazy, but if being me is crazy
Then let them laugh away
Yes, I was born great
And I will achieve greatness
And I won't be afraid of my own fate
I'll write them all a letter saying I deserve much better
And Mom, I'll make you proud, just you wait
Sometimes it's lonely being great
