You Haven't Earned It
Assemblage 23 You crave attention As if it's due to you You want permission To behave as badly as you do You want respect, but You don't act respectable Where you once had a soul You want fame to fill the void But you haven't earned it You don't deserve it You haven't walked long enough in these shoes You have'1t nearly paid your dues This image you portray It's so pathetic Shatters like crystal And slowly fades away You need the accolades You want the world's eyes And all the empty praise You want the money But you haven't earned it You haven't walked long enough in these shoes You don't deserve it When it's all over You have'1t nearly paid your dues You'll still be incomplete Forgotten and depressed What will you have left? You want acceptance It's all you wanted all along From those who you have wronged You want forgiveness But you haven't earned it You haven't walked long enough in these shoes You don't deserve it You have'1t nearly paid your dues |
