Silver Lining



My muffins are in the toaster I got my raspberry jam My grandfather was a sailor that came onto this land and he was looking for gold, a pretty hand to hold, or some cards to fold. At least, that's what I was told. Silver Lining Silver Lining, where'd you go? Turn on my TV They got talking heads in space used to be so easy to have a little faith I used to rely on luck I didn't feel so stuck Could earn an honest buck without lookin round, like Jon Kruk. Silver Lining Silver Lining, where'd you go? I used to have hope Now we got soap on a rope I used to have dreams Now we got overplayed baseball teams We got grocery baggers, grafitti taggers, golf-ball shaggers, go team go. Silver Lining Silver Lining, where'd you go? My landlord knocks upon my door He's got that payday face I swear to God he should be payin me To live inside this place It's filled with sharks and fins whose double chins say Thicken your skin, child if you want to win Silver Lining Silver Lining, where'd you go? I fix myself some herbal tea cause it's healthier they say well, healthier ain't half as fun I take a cold beer anyday I used to have dysfunctional fun in the cancerous sun with my co-dependent hon eatin greasy greasy hotdogs on a buttered up bun Silver Lining Silver Lining, where'd you go? Silver Lining Silver Lining, where'd you go?
