Lyrics:

You want a piece of the cake
It's not yours for the taking
You make a hen out of a feather with the proof that you're faking
You play your cards like you're sitting on all of the aces
But you don't even know what a real poker face is

You take what you can get from what's left on the table
You make facts out of fiction based on rumors and fables
You're waiting for a chance to get a share of what they're creating
You want a foot in the door when history's in the making
You're chasing waterfalls to make your way upstream
You're eating sleeping pills to reach your highest dreams
Your mediocracy takes you to new extremes
You're two times bitter but you're none the wiser

You never participate in the collective agreements
But take credit where you can for other people's achievements
Then you break down and cry when all your great expectations
Are pulled from under your feet and turn into desperation
You're chasing waterfalls to make your way upstream
You're eating sleeping pills to reach your highest dreams
Your mediocracy takes you to new extremes
You're two times bitter but you're none the wiser

Where can you go? (Where can you go?)
What can you say? (What can you say?)
Who can you turn to? (Who can you turn to?)
What will it take (what will it take)
To get it into your head?
