ESN - Silver Platter Lyrics

All you ever wanted was the life like the guy on your favourite record
You wrote a few good songs so you've earned it
When are you going to get what you deserve
The problem with people these days is that they don't know a good thing when they see it
When are you going to realise i'm a genius
And start to pay me the respect i deserve

But you don't want to recognise
You can't pretend you don't want to recognise

A devotee to the half-baked metaphysics you learned from ye almighty
You know more about me than i know myself
Because you learned it from astrology
One day a mystic tidal wave will come and wash away all those you deem impure
Well i've got news for you
You're coming with us
And you will be the first one to drown

But you don't want to recognise
You can't pretend you don't want to recognise

You always had it delivered on a silver platter
You never seemed to have anything but ill luck
Or so you often told me
You never did a day's work in your life
It would soil your feathers
I wanted to help you
But i wasn't on the level

I never knew my mother
Never knew my place
So i found my own world in the clouds
But i'm so unhappy here
Part of me was missing
Part of me was dead
So i found my own world in the clouds
But i'm so unhappy here

You always had it delivered on a silver platter
You never seemed to have anything but ill luck
Or so you often told me
You never did a day's work in your life
It would soil your feathers
I wanted to help you
But i wasn't on the level
