I don't got HD TV but I got insulation
I got no Lamborghini's, but I got vaccinations
I got a microwave, I got some pocket change
And even if I didn't, dude, pssh, no complaints
Tonight if you see me knocking on wood
That's just because I'm doing so fucking good
I don't hate my life, no, it's going alright
That's why tonight you see me knocking on wood

The one that always knocks me down again
The truest thoughts to enter my brain
Come, a high, lonesome refrain
I'm lonelier than lonely
And no one on this earth can console me
Given and Denied - Poets of the Fall
"Give me back my innocence cos I wish to dream again
Like I never outgrew my old playground
Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown and the leaves sing lullabies 'round vacant swings
Give me those wings"
