Deferred Gratification

Ani DiFranco

Deferred gratification you are my new best friend
I got kids and so do my friends
It'll never be our world again

But look how weary the chief
It'll be a relief to someday hear her say
"Get it yourself, get it yourself"

Frozen soldier mannequin
In the back of the wax museum
Weekdays it's only five bucks to get in
See him Friday fighting a battle he'll never win
But look how weary the chief
It'll be a relief to someday hear him say
"Get it yourself, get it yourself"

Deferred gratification you are my new best friend
I vote in every election
Hope someday these kids are gonna help us win
But look how weary the chief
It'll be a relief to someday hear him say
"Get it yourself, get it yourself"
