Weight of the World

You say you feel paralyzed With new expectations Who asked to be scrutinized? Can't they find their own sedation Put your arms on your head Spread em wide and take it The kids laugh down the block As they grind the pulp of opinion No one wants to be on the front page Toss me the rag You're missing the weight of the world When you knew how heavy it was Kept it in your room By the potted plants And you're missing the voice in your head When it was yours, and yours alone Just a sole siren On an empty perch They pick the seeds of doubt Out of your garden Suck em dry spit em out And the tin rattles round on the floorboards Gather round the tube it's showtime Pop me a bag You're missing the weight of the world When you knew how heavy it was Kept it in your room By the potted plants And you're missing the voice in your head When it was yours and yours alone Just a sole siren On an empty perch Two maligned Neither one so educated Focused lines Epithets and teasing taunts and where'd they get the time to come up with these? You're missing the weight of the world When you knew how heavy it was Kept it in your room By the potted plants And you're missing the voice in your head When it was yours and yours alone Just a sole siren On an empty perch
