Quasi - The Golden Egg Lyrics
Shoot yourself in the legAnd the goose lays the golden egg.I had that golden egg before,But it disappeared as I limped out the door.Never reveal what you knowThat the whole thing is just for show:A cardboard world with painted skies,Because we all must agree to believe in the lies.Bring yourself down to your kneesAnd they'll give you the golden keys.The keys will open any lockTo an empty room or a Chinese box.I can forget how I feelAnd pretend that it's all for real.The pot won't call the kettle blackAnd I don't even feel the knife in my back.And when we go off to our bed,After struggling for our bread,A pleasant dream may stand insteadOf the clamor and noise that goes on in your head.So carry on like beforeAnd don't listen to me any more.Don't believe a word I singBecause it's only a song and it don't mean a thing.
