| Unsatisfied |

| from the album "More Miserable Than You'll Ever Be" (Mike Roe/Gene Mascoli) I was growing up and out I asked my Mom what it was all about What she told me It left me unsatisfied I started school when I was five 20 years later I’m still alive What they told me It left me unsatisfied Started hangin’ out with the boys Talkin’ loud and making noise They showed me Ways to be satisfied Didn’t believe what they had to say I went along with them anyway I got happy But I wasn’t satisfied Were they my real friends? If they were, where have they been since then? I never see them What did they sell me? Why did they tell me only lies? Where is my freedom? I started a winner Wound up a sinner Show me how To end it all now I need help Somebody tell me what I’m supposed to believe You say that you got what I want but who knows what I need? I’m drifting away on an ocean of sorrow and grief Somebody throw me a line Found me a girl with some pretty hair Ended up worse for the wear and tear She loved me But that doesn’t satisfy I’ve got a job and I’m always tired I spend my days just trying to get myself fired It’s money But it doesn’t satisfy I’ve got a sauna and a real hot tub My friends come over and they rubadubdubdubdub It soothes me But it doesn’t satisfy Just like that old song by Peggy Lee Is that all there is? Now you tell me (Please don’t tell me) I think I’d rather die I’ve chased too many rainbows Painted with Day-Glo Now I know There ain’t no pot of gold Why should I follow Why should I swallow anything Just because I’m told? Call me a pessimist And I’ll say yes I missed Everything I should’ve been told I need help! Somebody tell me what I’m supposed to believe You say that you’ve got what I want but who knows what I need? I’m drifting away in an ocean of sorrow and grief Somebody throw me a line © 1980 Fools Of The World, LTD. (ASCAP) |
