comfort trap

a house and a wife and two and a half

i lost my dream in the comfort trap. i told my god his will could wait

i've got one foot in a rich man's grave

i heard it calling in my sleep at night

so i killed my dream with a butcher knife

i told my heart to toe the line

you had all that time

the rest is mine. i'm gonna get nice things and get my way

even if it means there's hell to pay

i'm gonna have my cake and eat it too

and what i don't eat i'm gonna force feed you

i'm not looking for consolation

maybe i could settle for compensation

have my cake and eat it too

and if it's all a lie i'm gonna say it's all true. a house and a wife and two and a half

i lost my dream in the comfort trap

i paid my dues and earned my doubt

it's be god's mistake to spit me out. i'm gonna get nice things and get my way

even if it means there's hell to pay

i'm gonna have my cake and eat it too

and what i don't eat i'm gonna force feed you

i'm not looking for consolation

maybe i could settle for compensation

have my cake and eat it too

and if it's all a lie i'm gonna say it's all true.
