You said I think the world owes me
That it sits some rungs below me
Apparently when we all got trophies
Those cheap plastic ones
It destroyed my whole generation
Back in your day, tested acid
And dug a hole for my casket
You put the torch out before you passed it
But hey, that's in the past
Yet I'm the one who's sitting on their hands?
The day I inherit the earth
Excuse me while I look a gift horse in the mouth
The day I inherit the earth
Demise bound
Be glad you're not 'round
Shown no respect for the elder
Who done put me through this swelter
I guess I should be seeking shelter
But can't find a roof
The price hasn't put a hole through
Ain't enlisted, just entitled
Marching inches to your miles
Clutch your smugness like a bible
But spare me your verse
Cuz your arrogance fucked everything up first
The day I inherit the earth
Excuse me while I look a gift horse in the mouth
The day I inherit the earth
Hear me shout
"Turn it inside out"
For too long too timid
Written off insipid
Your horrors grow vivid
As I grow more livid
Your crop, it's got no cream
Let's wake up from your dream
You tell me I can't scream
While boiling my bloodstream
For too long too timid
Written off insipid
Your horrors grow vivid
As I grow more livid
Your crop, it's got no cream
Let's wake up from your dream
You tell me that I can't scream
Tell me, is this the just desserts?
Hands tied and backs against the wall?
I would tell you that you've got a lot of nerve if I thought
You felt anything at all
The day I inherit the earth
Excuse me while I look a gift horse in the mouth
The day I inherit the earth
All worn out
Will you still be proud?
Still be proud?
Still be proud?
Still be proud?
