I Want More (Part 1) Songtext / Lyric

Yep, hey friend, your misery bewilders me

How come you're never satisfied or gratified

Four walls an' a roof, electricity

Stable mind, wife and child

Hot and cold water to run anytime



But still you, whine, "I want more"



A bum could rummage through ya bin

And live like a king

On just one crumb o'ya cake

An' ya say ya life needs fulfilling



Some would give anything

To live like you

Shame your mind, don't shine

Like your possessions do



Whining, complaining all the time

Don't see no rain on you

What side your bread is buttered on

If only you knew



What d'ya mean, I want more, yep






I was told as a child

All I want, never get

Learned to count my blessings

Long before I saw an abacus



So what ya family don't speak

At least they're alive

Show me a man without guilt

Or a soul that ain't lied



You don't know what ya got

Open your eyes, look around

Really, hear me

You ain't got no reason to be down



What d'ya mean, I want more



Friend what is it that you seek

What is it that you try to find?

Someday I hope you realized

It shined in you all the time



Hills to climb, sights to see, seas to cross

Friends to make, hands to shake, the world is yours

Foods to taste, sounds to hear, love to feel

Seeds to sew, things to know, fish to reel

Space to quiz, stones to lift, life's a gift



What d'ya mean, I want more, yep

What d'ya mean, I want more, yep
