lyrics

Everybody gets a trophy,
A gift for every kid who plays,
A thanks for your participation.
You wait for it for days and days and days.

You're going to get your licks in,
Grin through a morphine haze.
You'll mature into a master craftsman,
But every day will cost more than it pays.

They give you food and a bed to sleep in.
You change your clothes every week or two.
You strike a match when you leave their bathroom.
Breathe in, breathe out is all that you can do.

Resigned to be a stand-in,
Forever waiting for a cue,
And every-even-day American,
The odd days all your dreams fade out of view.

Everybody gets a trophy.
Everybody gets a hand
But you.
