Silver Lining

Muffin's 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

Or 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 T.V.

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 a 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 and 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

But healthier ain't half as fun

I'll take a cold beer anyday

I used to have dysfunctional fun

In the cancerous sun

With my co-dependent 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?
