Jared Morris - Monologue: The Heir Lyrics

That, That was my worst day ever
I think a normal person would have been crushed
I really liked Prince
I stopped listening to him, mostly

But I remember when I was working in Philadelphia
I'd listen to him for inspiration
That time I threw my cowboy hat at that homeless guy
Other stuff too
My first concert

We used to play Purple Rain until Dave got sick of it
"Ever since you started listening to Prince," he said
"You think you are Prince"
Wrong

I thought I was the next Prince
That was also the day I lost my job
I had been saying I wanted to leave for a while
then they gave me a reason to

I went to work
I was ready to tell everybody what happened to Prince
and they
they asked for my key and told me to leave
I worked there for 4 years

What was their reason?
They said they were afraid for me
I was sick
They meant they were afraid of me

They said if I wanted to come back to work I'd have to talk to their doctors
Now let me ask you this
If they were really worried about me
Why would they give me a reason for them to be worried

And on the day I was supposed to talk about Prince
That was the worst day of my life
But, it's okay
Now I am dedicating my life to being Prince

I'm going to New York
Where all the critics love you
