Story Behind The Song

A long life of wanting more and never settling led to this song. It's neither complaining nor content, it ust is.

Song Description

We've all wanted somthing that we thought would make our lives so much better. Then you get what you wanted so bad and realize you aren't as happy as you assumed. Suddenly there's a new desire, and the dance begins again. The song's about reaching that point where you realize it will always be like this, and you don't care. You come to the conclusion, "I might as well party."

Lyrics

I look at all the people walking down the street and everybody?s looking round with the same face
They don?t have much to say. They?re gonna be there anyway. It?s lalalalala all day long
Shiny lights, shopping malls, graffiti on the walls, my soul worn straight through my shoe lace.
I have very little cause and I very rarely pause. I got everything but I sing a sad song.

I got everything, but that don?t mean a thing
I got everything, that ain?t a thing to me
I got everything, that means a whole lot of nothing
I got everything in this world, but I want more

There?s a message right inside my home, to see it I just put on the television
It?s telling me about how it all should be it seems I?d be a fool if I didn?t listen
Ignore it I could try but it always steals my eye, killing me from across the room every time
I have no defenses. It takes over my senses. A dangerous place is my field of vision.

Don?t give me no education
I?ve seen it all before
I?m not one for calculation
All I know is I want more

Jumpin? on the band wagon, always late, my pants are saggin?
Never had a roll model, drinking straight from the bottle
Everything?s always the same. Teacher doesn?t know my name
Killing me slow now and then, stuck in the middle again
