Lyrics

Muffins in the toaster
I got my raspberry jam
My grandpa was a sailor
And he came into this land
And he was looking for gold
A pretty hand to hold
Some cards to fold
At least that's what I've been told
Silver lining
Silver lining, where'd you go?
I turn on my TV
They got talking heads in space
It used to be so easy
To have a little faith
I used to rely on luck
To earn an honest buck
I didn't feel so stuck
I didn't limp around like John Kruk
Silver lining
Silver lining, where'd you go?
We used to have hope
Now we got soap on a rope
We used to have dreams
Now we got overpaid baseball teams
We got grocery baggers, graffiti taggers
Golf ball shaggers, go team go
Silver lining
Silver lining, where'd you go?
My landlord knocks upon my door
And she's got that payday face
I swear to God she should be paying me
To live inside this place
It's filled with sharks with fins
With double chins
Who say thicken your skin, child
If you wanna 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'll take a cold beer any day
I used to have dysfunctional fun
In the cancerous sun
With my codependent hon
Eating greasy, greasy hot dogs on a buttered-up bun
Silver lining
Silver lining, where'd you go?
Silver lining
Silver lining, where'd you go?
