I am confident You got it right, I am confident We were always told Told what to do What to say, what to eat, what to drink Hell, I was even told how to do them! Again, you are right We did not get all that we wanted You were even told to stay put at times -- most times Don't do this -- don't do that You and I heard them quite often Such painful chests, we did have Yes, I remember There were moments, I daydreamed Told myself, grow fast -- be old Good lord, you probably even said, be better than them I know -- I said it, too Now, what? What's with the long face looking back? Is it sadness for reliving those moments? Naaahhh -- I know that look -- that feeling Funny, right? Funny that it actually isn't funny that our wishes came true Why would it be? We had great lives -- you and I, all of us 'Course we did! We now wish we could be told how to fix things At times, we even wish harder we could have somebody do everything for us You've always been correct all the way Certainly, we were ungrateful

We Were Ungrateful
I am confident You got it right, I am confident We were always told Told what to do What to say, what to eat, what to drink Hell, I was even told how to do them! Again, you are right We did not get all that we wanted You were even told to stay put at times -- most times Don't do this -- don't do that You and I heard them quite often Such painful chests, we did have Yes, I remember There were moments, I daydreamed Told myself, grow fast -- be old Good lord, you probably even said, be better than them I know -- I said it, too Now, what? What's with the long face looking back? Is it sadness for reliving those moments? Naaahhh -- I know that look -- that feeling Funny, right? Funny that it actually isn't funny that our wishes came true Why would it be? We had great lives -- you and I, all of us 'Course we did! We now wish we could be told how to fix things At times, we even wish harder we could have somebody do everything for us You've always been correct all the way Certainly, we were ungrateful
