Trumpet Song Songtext

von Mice

Too much time, too many mirrors here to inspire us
Fat pigs fishing for pearls, too many admirers
You know those yes-men adore you
But they can't do everything for you
So blow your own trumpet

What a flick of the wrist in one so young
And you get everything that you need
With a twist of your tongue

"Together, together
Together we could inherit the earth!"
But you know that isn't good enough
He needs to inherit the stars!
While he needs desperately to succeed
He just doesn't have the time
To blow any minds
So blow your own

He runs rings around your confidence,
He undermines you, but undefines you
When he reminds you he's fantastic, thinks he's brilliant
(Hmm, three weeks ago he was listening to marillion!)
But he's turning over a new leaf, a clover
So few people noticed, so few
Only a few people noticed
This just undermines him
This just undermines his confidence
