Silver Plated Pedestal

from Wrestonomic by Green Andy

/

lyrics

I've been sitting at the bottom
Of a silver plated pedestal
And keeping up my patience
But nobody's ever gonna let me try

I bought my tickets thirty years ago
And now the riding is shutting down
But still I'm sitting patiently
Though no one's ever gonna let me try

I did the groundwork on my lonesome
Paid the money straight from pocket
And I hate to be a whiner
But it seems like I won't ever get to try

I traded CDs tapes and compliments
With people I don't even like
But even though I rule that roost
It seems I still won't ever get to try

There's really nothing more that I can do
I've sold my soul to them and you
To nobody have I been true
But you still never seem to let me try

On the streets they're giving it away
Tomorrow's worse than this today
Kids and housewives just won't pay
And now I'll never get the chance to try

My melancholy keeps shut in
I know that whiners never win
But why am I out when they're all in
Nobody's ever gonna let me try
