Recognition
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everybody wants to be recognized
Doesn't matter what you've done
Some people find it on a big silver screen
Some find it behind a shotgun
A small young girl, a downtown south
She saw a starlet in a movie house
She left her mama to stake a big claim
Poor little girl, never gonna be the same
Ooh recognition
Ooh recognition
All you lookin' for a wide open door
You want them all to see your face
There's too many fingers pointin' to your grave
So go back home and keep your place
Ooh recognition
Ooh recognition
Ooh recognition
Ooh recognition
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Recognition
Recognition is what I want
Recognition is what I want
Recognition is what I want
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Recognition, give me some
Recognition, recognition, recognition
Recognition, recognition, recognition
Recognition, give me some
Ooh recognition
