Ear to Ear - Forgive Durden

I wake my greedy eyes from a night spent dreaming

Ambitiously

Cost-effectively

Fingers stained with yesterday’s highs and lows

It’s got to go

It’s all got to go

It’s a rob

It’s a steal

You better land that deal

You’re in the big leagues now, sonny

Buy low, sell high

Get a piece of the pie

But leave the rest for me, yea

My destiny

Wasn’t written in the stars

It’s been meticulously planned

And presented in a chart

A flawless design

To truly satisfy

You want results?

Look at the fucking smile

On my face

I stick to the stats

Go by the numbers

I’m measured by threads and horse power

Square feet and tender

But now I’m old

Like an aging oak

There’s more gold secured

To my jaw than there ever was

To my name

Its bark gets rougher by the day

Limbs reach for its roots

Its insides rot away until

It’s just a hollow trunk

It’s only full

Of emptiness

But save

The biggest slice for me

Tailor, tailor

Raise my inseam

And widen these cuffs

Because I am dressed for success

Tailor, tailor

Stand clear

I’m headed straight

For the top, the top, the top

The dirt

My destiny

Wasn’t written in the stars

It’s been meticulously planned

And presented in a chart

A flawless design

To truly satisfy

You want results?

Look at the fucking smile

On my face
