You can have anything you could ever be wanting, the country will give you your fill. I took their advice and I did what they told me, taking my turn as the shill.
Oh this chip on my shoulder I know it so well, sure as the backs of my hands. And I try to be gracious, as ever I can, as gentle and kind as I can stand.
Oh all of them loved me, because I was empty. And they saw in me something they could feed. Cause weâre all overflowing, recklessly growing and the power comes from the need.
But for this chip on my shoulder I could have enjoyed their slippery honeyed embrace. With gifts I would be showered if I donâ t disappoint, but I couldnât keep to my place.
Oh I spoke to my sisters and the child of a friend but no promises could I keep. Stay always emboldened and donât reach for that crown but itâs a want that goes down so deep.
I guess that I could have had anything, but I didnât want nothing in the end that wasnât tied down. And I donât think that it matters to me so much as them and Iâll tell not a soul what I found.
