ABOUT THE SONG
This song was written sometime in 2007 or 2008. It is basically about wanting what you don’t have, and being jealous of others who have what you want, and the frustration you feel because of that. Why do things come so easily for others who don’t really deserve it , but so hard for people who work really hard? It’s just life, so I wrote this song to vent that frustration. A lot of the analogies I used in this song were inspired by The Wizard of Oz and Snow White, and many other fairy tales and fables that have that element of “lesson learned”. I’m pretty sure that is apparent. Words and Music by Justina Carubia Scratch Demos ©2007 Verse 1: Your sea is green with envy On the inside your kid is spoiled Rotten, like an apple that’s gone bad Welcome to the city of fortune The gates are golden and open wide Your horse of different colors And your minions Have arrived Chorus: We all want what we can’t have We all shatter at the thought of sinking In the deep green sea of luxury Baby your face is green with envy And you're so damn Emerald to me Verse 2: Another win I gain Sums up the total of your losses babe Don’t try to take it all away Don’t try to take it all away Chorus: We all want what we can’t have We all shatter at the thought of sinking In the deep green sea of luxury Baby your face is green with envy And you're so damn Emerald to me Bridge: Me, me , baby Reality don’t that easy Hey , hey You’re living in a fantasy INSTRUMENTAL BREAK Chorus: We all want what we can’t have We all shatter at the thought of sinking In the deep green sea of luxury Baby your face is green with envy And you're so damn Emerald to me...
