The Day I Inherit the Earth Lyrics

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?
