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
