I Just Want To Make My Daddy Proud

Lyrics

I've sold my soul for plastic All of these poorly drawn on smiles I just want to be remembered Before I drift out of style And I hear this talk of change But I don't see what's all the rush The rich are getting richer And the poor already have too much [Chorus] Why are there all these angry people I hear their ignorance so loud And I just want to make my daddy proud I never planned to be a huckster Who sells this color-coded fear I've lied to all your loved ones Sent to die and disappear But I've got Jesus and my mother And all of Laura's useless books It's a long way back to Texas Far too many dirty looks [Chorus] Why are there all these angry people I hear their ignorance so loud And I just want to make my daddy proud And I just want to make my daddy proud My sense of life has dried up Even my brisket tastes like chalk I'm sick of waiting to be seated While all these puppet masters talk They say just hold your tongue, George And keep your head out of the clouds Well there are times to speak your mind Not now Not now 'Cause I just want to make my daddy proud
