Worth It
Marie Frank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
wearing only bottle caps on their eyes
happily indifferent and all smiles
for everyone involved
has the whole world gone deaf
could it be the hearing aid went dead
Wouldn't know a symphony from a chair
don't they know that excellence is right here
seated in expensive chairs, with millionaires and stuff
'cause i know that i'm worth it
Is the whole world asleep
snoring through the miracle at its feet
oblivious to beauty and unkind to all the things i do
must i take to extremes giving up my hopes and my dreams
'cause they don't know a symphony from a chair
don't they know that excellence is right here
I know that i'm worth it
seated in expensive chairs, with millionaires and stuff
'cause i know that i'm worth it
dress me up in ruby robes and golden hopes for all
i know that i am worth it
And i can make everyone better meals
than they ever had, and it's so sad
that they all seem to prefer jellybeans
i know that i am worth it and i can make everyone better meals
and it's so sad that they all seem to prefer jellybeans
I know that i am worth it
seated in expensive chairs, with millionaires and stuff
'cause i know that i'm worth it
dress me up in ruby robes and golden hopes for all
know that i'm worth it
think of me as a leading light, a star too bright to fall
