Entertaining Thoughts

from I Broke My Shoulders by Cale Hawkins

/

lyrics

Flavor of the day
I’m tired of the way you write me off
I’m amazed it got this far
It must feel strange
Being some kind of demagogue
Waving a losing hand of cards
Over my head

Where do you get off?
When you’re playing god
Entertaining thoughts
Of being someone’s boss
And everybody fronts
Putting up facades
But I feel like giving up
I feel like giving

A ticker tape parade
only for people that you hate
Bet it could last a whole damn day
That’s what you say

Where do you get off?
When you’re playing god
Entertaining thoughts
Of being someone’s boss
And everybody fronts
They're putting up facades
But I feel like giving up
I feel like giving up
I feel like giving
