Bread and Honey Lyrics by Greenwich Tea Party

EP I

2011

[Verse 1]
To be born a hundred years before today
Would I stand so tall?
What would I be called?
How would I see you?
How would I think?
Would I know about the little creatures swimming in my drink?
[Pre-Chorus]
But it feels as though I'm holding on to a place I never knew
Another line drawn over mine, splitting me in two
[Verse 2]
I grew up and learned to use these tools
Tools to make some money, just to make some money
I was sent away each day to school
With my bread and honey
To learn to make some money
Surely there is somewhere out there other than this
A place where people spend their lives and never think of this
I wish they taught me to find the beauty in all things
And take what I do in the face of everything
[Chorus]
And I'd say:
"This place is not for you
Get away
This place is not for you"
[Verse 3]
One day I hope to marry a girl
Build a home to live in
Love and raise our children
But I don't want them to waste time in this world
Fighting for possession, fighting for possession
[Chorus]
And I'll say:
"This place is not for you
Get away
This place is not for you"
[Verse 4]
If they were born a hundred years before today
What would be their problems
I hope it's fairy tales and goblins
[Outro]
But it feels as though I'm holding on to a place I never knew
Another line drawn over mine, splitting me in two
