She's thoroughbred hunger From her double shift mom to her deadbeat dad She tiptoes through junkyard junglegyms Collecting alleyway beach glass She learned to swindle Haggled survival with the big guy Big sisters traded on corners She was one Karma mustve forgotten While doing rounds She's got an invincible soul Stitched of disappointments Wrapped in sorrow Hope as a bow He's thoroughbred gluttony From mommas limelight jewels to daddy's sin-shined shoes He learned to swindle To thrive Wall street walk on the 99% Politician promises To impermanent faces Costly trips To extravagant places Mixing up "enough" With "more" Looking for happiness In a store Though it seems to me Whats made of life Is what makes life worth living for

Two sides to a story
She's thoroughbred hunger From her double shift mom to her deadbeat dad She tiptoes through junkyard junglegyms Collecting alleyway beach glass She learned to swindle Haggled survival with the big guy Big sisters traded on corners She was one Karma mustve forgotten While doing rounds She's got an invincible soul Stitched of disappointments Wrapped in sorrow Hope as a bow He's thoroughbred gluttony From mommas limelight jewels to daddy's sin-shined shoes He learned to swindle To thrive Wall street walk on the 99% Politician promises To impermanent faces Costly trips To extravagant places Mixing up "enough" With "more" Looking for happiness In a store Though it seems to me Whats made of life Is what makes life worth living for
