lyrics

THE THANKS I GET
(Chris Hludzik)

When your empire was crumbling
I was there to pick up the pieces
And put it back together again

When your world didn’t turn
And hard lessons were learned
I was with you through it all, my friend

But when I pulled you from the ditch
And put you back on the road
You seemed to forget who got you there
Well they say life – it’s a bitch
It leaves you lost and leaves you cold
Full of doubt and full of fear
And when I needed you, you weren’t there
I guess you didn’t think to care…

And that’s the thanks I get

I was always setting things up
To help you make a name
I did the work, you took the credit

But when things didn’t pan out
It was me who got the blame
I’ll never forget it

I held my end of every bargain
Stayed true to my word
Took too many falls for you
Lies, excuses and jargon
From you were all I heard
What did you expect me to do?
But you wouldn’t drop your agenda for MY affairs
I guess you felt you were too important to care…

And that’s the thanks I get
Yeah that's the thanks I get.
