Stoic Music 1

Call it Providence, Karma, or the order of the Universe. Call it God, if you will. Each and every thing plays its part, each and every part acts within the whole. There are no accidents. We all get what we deserve. . .

Marillion, "Deserve", From marillion.com (1999)

They got money, they got sun
They look like they're havin' fun
Don't it seem it's so unfair
They know something you don't know
They've got a better place to go
They're thin and rich and they don't care

We get the dreams that we deserve
The magazines that we deserve
Page one and three that we deserve
The joy and the pain that we deserve
The sun and the rain that we deserve
The material gain that we deserve
We get what we deserve

They got tension, they got stress
They got their lives in the press
The whole world stares as they undress
Sold their friends to get ahead
They do therapy instead
They've got demons in their bed

We get the toys that we deserve
The quiet and the noise that we deserve
The girls and the boys that we deserve
We get what we want if we really want it
We get what we want if we're really honest

You know what you are
You know what you want
You know what you deserve

We get the seas that we deserve
The flowers and the trees that we deserve
The spores on the breeze that we deserve
We get what we want if we really want it
We get what we want if we're really honest

You know what you are
You know what you want
You know what you deserve
You deserve
We get what we deserve
We deserve
