You said I think the world owes me That it sits some rungs below me Apparently when we all got trophies Those cheap plastic ones It destroyed my whole generation Back in your day, tested acid And dug a hole for my casket You put the torch out before you passed it But hey, that's in the past Yet I'm the one who's sitting on their hands? The day I inherit the earth Excuse me while I look a gift horse in the mouth The day I inherit the earth Demise bound Be glad you're not 'round Shown no respect for the elder Who done put me through this swelter I guess I should be seeking shelter But can't find a roof The price hasn't put a hole through Ain't enlisted, just entitled Marching inches to your miles Clutch your smugness like a bible But spare me your verse Cuz your arrogance fucked everything up first The day I inherit the earth Excuse me while I look a gift horse in the mouth The day I inherit the earth Hear me shout "Turn it inside out" For too long too timid Written off insipid Your horrors grow vivid As I grow more livid Your crop, it's got no cream Let's wake up from your dream You tell me I can't scream While boiling my bloodstream For too long too timid Written off insipid Your horrors grow vivid As I grow more livid Your crop, it's got no cream Let's wake up from your dream You tell me that I can't scream Tell me, is this the just desserts? Hands tied and backs against the wall? I would tell you that you've got a lot of nerve if I thought You felt anything at all The day I inherit the earth Excuse me while I look a gift horse in the mouth The day I inherit the earth All worn out Will you still be proud? Still be proud? Still be proud? Still be proud?
