Chip on My Shoulder
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 all this demands, 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 we're 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 don' t disappoint, but I couldn't 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 don't reach for that crown but it's a want that goes down so deep
I guess that I could have had anything, but I didn't want nothing in the end that wasn't tied down
And I don't think that it matters to me so much as them and I'll tell not a soul what I found
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 all this demands, 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 we're 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 don' t disappoint, but I couldn't 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 don't reach for that crown but it's a want that goes down so deep
I guess that I could have had anything, but I didn't want nothing in the end that wasn't tied down
And I don't think that it matters to me so much as them and I'll tell not a soul what I found
