We are cooks and crooks with empty plates to fill Serving dishes for our peers in vaudeville We dread for their reaction They get no satisfaction Their palates' dulled and burned with misery And as a child I seem to think of destiny For reason I can't explain Is it any wonder why my life turn out the way it did? We choose what we have And sometimes lose more than our bread You've given Life your trust And it's been thrown back at your face To realize what's right For the story of your Life I'm tired of being fed with bread and circuses This world view seems incredibly conservative With passion just like mine Will you gravely read my stones When I should die And as a child I seem to think of destiny For reason I can't explain Is it any wonder why my life turn out the way it did? We choose what we have And sometimes lose more than our bread You've given Life your trust And it's been thrown back at your face To realize what's right For the story of your Life... For the story of your Life...
