Tekst Utworu

My cousin was my best friend
‘Til I turned about 10
Then his house burned down and I’ve hardly seen him since
My brother, he’s an addict
Since about the age fourteen
Good looking, charismatic
But damn his ghosts are mean
We’re brought up with a certain expectation
Where we learn that we should never expect much
Each promise carries with it hesitation
Boy, know your station
You can look, but you can’t touch
The Bible tells me, “Blessed are the poor”
And that Jesus and the devil—they’re both knocking on my door
Beckoning I call out their name
But in desperation they both look the same
When you’re desperate it all looks the same
We’re brought up with a certain expectation
Where we learn that we should never expect much
Each promise carries with it reservation
Boy, know your station
You can look, but you can’t touch
My daddy always taught me man would get what he deserved
Well, I’m sorry Pa, but that ain’t what I’ve observed
Sometimes you’ll get what you get
And you’ll just live with it
‘Cause there’s nothing left to take
The dice are loaded
Make no mistake
We’re brought up with a certain expectation
Where we learn that we should never expect much
Each promise carries with it resignation
Boy, know your station
You can look, but you can’t touch
