Your Two Cents

[Verse 1: Oliver Mestitz]
I’m not ahead of my time, I’m behind it
I’m not a valentine, I’m a paper cup
If it’s a drink you're after you would find it
If you throw me out, there won’t be washing up to do

[Verse 2: Oliver Mestitz]
Well that’s some train track that you’ve been hogging
Your face it turned black, gave me a heart attack
You’ve got it in for us, you say it’s coming
I hope it’s serious, and by serious I mean [?]

[Verse 1: Oliver Mestitz]
And all the old diseases, well I caught 'em
I drank from inkwells, suffered fainting spells
And what’s the word that’s French for boredom?
If books were get wells, I’d need library shelves in here

[Verse 3: Oliver Mestitz]
And all these weddings, I can’t afford 'em
If it’s worth doing, don’t do it yourself
And at the endings, you can’t ignore 'em
We’re a shoo-in, we’ll inherit our wealth my dear

[Verse 4: Oliver Mestitz, & Sarah Farquharson]
It’s not like I’m hopeless
There are certain things
I’ve learned to recognize
I’m no expert
But I’m old enough
And a simple note would have sufficed
It’s not wonderful
But it's quite alright
They’re not taking everything we’ve got
I’m no surrogate
I won’t fight your fight
I’ve got mine and it’s not worth the lot and two cents
Two cents
