Ten A Penny

lyrics

Talent extraordinary
You're the boss of your tiny pool
You should be on the telly
There's no end to what you can do

Ten a penny
Ten a penny
You may have the chops
But there's too many

You're ten a penny
Ten a penny
Thought you'd lift the cup
But it's too heavy

You've always known you're special
Raison d'être will be fulfilled
Always been told your better
You will swallow a bitter pill

Cause you're ten a penny
Ten a penny
Thought the role was yours
But they've got plenty

You're ten a penny mate
Ten a penny
You may have the skills
But there's no money

But when you first started
Applause when you farted
You were the cream that made them ill
And once you'd departed
You were the vessel
Burdened with assumptions
You'd be top of the bill some day
I know the way
You know the way
I'm here to stay
You won't go away
I have a plan
Tell us your plan
I'll be the GOAT
You'll revere me

Ten a penny
Ten a penny
Thought you'd get your chance
There wasn't any

You're ten a penny
Ten a penny
On the scrap heap
In your twenties

Ten a penny
Ten a penny
This is a joke
That isn't funny

Ten a penny
Ten a penny
You went all in
And came up empty
