Lyrics
Want
(c) 2003 Brian Madison
I need something but I don?t know what
I need a bit of what I haven?t got
I need something but I don?t know why
I can?t get enough of what don?t satisfy
I will be better but I can?t say how
I need salvation in the here and now
I will be better but I can?t say when
I?ve been down this road again and again and again
They call me the seeker
Been searchin? low and high
I won?t get what I?m after
Until the day I die
And happiness, not pleasure
Is something I should try
It?s peace of mind I really need
Distraction that I buy
I eat when I?m not hungry
I drink when I?m not dry
Have sex when I?m not horny
But I can?t tell you why
I?m short on introspection
It?s reason I defy
I pray for deeper insight
Before I up and die
I want something I can?t define
I want something that isn?t mine
I can?t say I deserve it; I will not tell a lie
I want a bigger piece of someone else?s pie
Take it from someone and I don?t care who
The newsman says I need it more than you
My congressman he grabbed it fair and square
I always vote myself a bigger share
Rhetoric of confiscation
Yours is not to have a say
I?ll settle for coercion
Now just shut up and pay
Quit whinin? ?bout taxation
Democracy?s okay
When you?re on the side that?s winning
Let mob rule have its day
I need something but I don?t know what
I need a bit of what I haven?t got
I need something but I don?t know why
I can?t get enough of what don?t satisfy
