Canasta - Appreciation lyrics

Wasted my days So numbered, so few Wish I'd been warned So much work left to do Frying some eggs I'd picked up that day That was the scene When they took me away Spiders in corners Flies on the wall This is my audience They've come to see The man who'll be changing The outside from inside Maybe, just maybe They'll appreciate me Get a reason to see it through Set up... Been set up by the voices that asked me to So let 'em scoff Then let 'em turn Their heads when they're ready to learn My days here are full Fleshing out plans Sharpening wits and strengthening hands I don't mind the wait The world will need time To move beyond defining One's worth by one's crime You've clipped my stories Read them in secret One of these days You know I will go free I know you're out there I'm dying to meet you Maybe, just maybe You'll appreciate me Get a reason to see it through Set up... Been set up by the voices that asked me to So let 'em scoff Then let 'em turn Their heads when they're ready to learn
