Letra de Chip On My Shoulder

You can have anything you could ever be wanting
The country will give you your fill
I took their advice and I did what they told me
Taking my turn as the shill
Oh this chip on my shoulder
I know it so well, sure as the backs of my hands
I try to be gracious, for all its demands
As gentle and kind as I can
Oh all of them loved me because I was empty
And they saw in me something they could feed
'Cause we're overflowing, recklessly growing
And the power comes from the need
But for this chip on my shoulder
I could have enjoyed their slipperyhoneyed embrace
With gifts I would be showered, if I don't disappoint
But I couldn't keep to my place
Oh I spoke to my sisters and the child of a friend
But no promises could I keep
Stay always emboldened and don't reach for that crown
But it's a want that goes down so deep
Guess I could have had anything
But I didn't want nothing in the end that wasn't tied down
And I don't think that it matters to me so much as them
I'll tell not a soul what I found
