lyrics

A revelation’s dawning on you
And it doesn’t even feel that new
That a lot of what you want is just not going to come your way
You can shout it loud if you want
Or in a whisper pass it on
That a lot of what you want is just not going to come your way

But they give you this sense of entitlement
This sense of entitlement
Blurring the line between them and you
Promising you can have all that too
They give you this sense of entitlement
This sense of entitlement
That makes no allowance for circumstance
And takes no account of the start you had

And our engine runs on that dream
But it’s building up a head of steam
Cos a lot of what you want is just not going to come your way
And when the pressure builds up enough
And a failure leads you to erupt
Then a lot of ugly stuff is surely gonna come our way

Cos they give you this sense of entitlement
This sense of entitlement
And dizzy delusions will cloud your mind
That you’ve got a claim on what’s caught your eye
They give you this sense of entitlement
This sense of entitlement
And great expectations will fill your head
Till what you can’t buy you will steal instead

But these things you hunger for
They only shine in the distance
Yeah these things you pander to
Are not so bright once you’re near them
Yeah these things you suffer for
They only shine in the distance
They’re best admired from a distance

So get rid of this sense of entitlement

Oh you live with this sense of entitlement
This sense of entitlement
Blurring the line between them and you
Promising you can live as they do
They give you this sense of entitlement
This sense of entitlement

And I thought it had my name on it
Could have sworn it had my name on it
Yeah I thought it had my name on it
Could have sworn it had my name on it
