Tempered Expectations Songtext
von Cosmic Joke

Society divided by the haves and have nots
A measuring stick made of what you don′t got
Resentment based in self discontent
Material obsession mistaken for aggression
A glass half-full spilled by lack of motivation
No accounting for the time you've spent


The hill you′re climbing it's not so steep
But I've grown sore from the grudges you keep

You′re waiting for a handout that′s never gonna come
A balancing act on the back of all the past work you've done
They say patience is a virtue but hard work is king
It′s easy to forget that the world doesn't owe you a single thing

The hill you′re climbing it's not so steep
But I′ve grown sore from the grudges you keep

Tempered expectations, reasonable returns
