Lyrics
You may think I?m just complacent
But step into my shoes and you?ll see
The stars all align
Against me each time
Like some cosmic conspiracy
I?ve watched success come easily to others
As I stockpile my unanswered prayers
And my patience runs thin
For one effortless win
But life never seems to play fair
If only if only
The gods would root for me
But lately it seems like they?re trying to ignore me
If only if only
They?d do it all for me
What a great life this would be
Wish I was a blue blooded noble-man
With blessings to count every day
So I could lay in my tower
Atop petals of flowers
All day on my back eating grapes
I think I deserve to be one of the many
That don?t work a hard day in their lives
Another bump on a log
Living high off the hog
Waiting for my blessings to arrive
If only if only
The gods would root for me
And make my life a little less
Empty and lonely
If only if only
They?d do it all for me
What a great life mine would be
