[Verse] I worked my hands down to the bone Built a house Made it a home Now they sit Glued to their screens Life's a game And I'm just a scene [Chorus] Ungrateful blues They're playin' me cold Ungrateful blues My story's been told I gave 'em the sky They wanted the stars Ungrateful blues That's just who they are [Verse 2] They’ve got their kids But don’t seem to see Those little eyes Lookin’ up with a plea I gave 'em lessons I gave 'em the time But now I’m the echo The forgotten rhyme [Prechorus] I ain't askin' for gold Just a hand to hold [Chorus] Ungrateful blues They're playin' me cold Ungrateful blues My story's been told I gave 'em the sky They wanted the stars Ungrateful blues That's just who they are [Bridge] Time will come When they’ll feel this sting Hear their own kids cry But they won’t bring a thing The circle spins And the wheel will turn They’ll learn my blues When it's their turn to burn
