Author's Note: the first fanfic I've ever written. I would appreciate reviews and constructive criticism. I am very sorry if you think a few parts of this seem especially cruel, but it seems like something Zim would say.

Disclaimer: Jhonen Vasquez and Nickelodeon Studios own "Invader ZIM" and everything related and Avril Lavigne owns the song "Complicated".

Complicated Mission

(in Zim's point of view)

Chill out, whatcha fightin' for?

Give up, I've always won before

and if you could only let me be

I know you see

I hate you the way you are

wish you'd get hit by a car

then I could enslave you humans

one by one

oh what I'd become

I'd prove myself

apart from everyone else

but you're stalking my back

and I can't relax

I try to be cool

but you make a fool out of me

tell me

Why'd ya go and make my mission so complicated

you see the way I'm

disguised as one of you it makes you frustrated

life's like this I

I push and you fall

yet you stand through it all

I don't get it

you're so determined to

expose me

but I always carry a few alibis

for I AM ZIM

You come over unannounced

I throttle GIR coz he let you in the house

so I strap you to a gurney

coz I like to see you

cry out when I probe your head

why don't you go bother Gaz instead

then maybe she can put you in the ICU

so I can look forward to

proving myself

apart from everyone else

but you're stalking my back

and I can't relax

I try to be cool

but you make a fool out of me

tell me

Why'd ya go and make my mission so complicated

you see the way I'm

disguised as one of you it makes you frustrated

life's like this I

I push and you fall

yet you stand through it all

I don't get it

you're so determined to

expose me

but I always carry a few alibis

for I AM ZIM

(doom, doom, doom, doom...)

Chill out, whatcha still fighting for

You don't give up, though you've never won before

you said you'd never let me be

till you exposed me

you're proving yourself

apart from everyone else

they all turned their backs

but you won't relax

they say you're insane

though the truth is plain to see

I see

Why you had to make my mission so complicated

you see the way I'm

disguised as one of you it makes you frustrated

well life's like this I

I push and you fall

yet you stand through it all

I think I get it

you're so determined to

expose me

but I'm smiling

you're a challenge in my eyes

for you are Dib
