CRACKED OYSTER WORLD
V1 I've had some near misses
Yes some things smelled like success
But failures overtook me
And for a while I just regressed
V2 But my psyche is resilient
My mind expands and contracts
And I soon put aside my doubts
When I got my confidence back
C1 I'm sifting thru the shellfish to find a pearl
I'm sifting thru the shellfish to find a pearl,
In my cracked oyster world
In my cracked oyster world
V3 An hour that goes by is an hour you can't get back
Like a wad of cash you lost that you laid down at the track
And I'm not wasting any time
I'm gonna get what's mine
V4 I've suffered tyranny and oppression
Depression and recession
And inflation has put so many things out of reach
But doors will open up when I find the keys
C2 I'm sifting thru the shellfish to find a pearl
I'm sifting thru the shellfish to find a pearl,
In my cracked oyster world
My cracked oyster world
V5 I don't need a psychic
I don't need a crystal ball
No, I don't need neither
One day I'll have it all
C3 I'm sifting thru the shellfish to find a pearl
I'm sifting thru the shellfish to find a pearl,
In my cracked oyster world
My cracked oyster world
