Not What We Wanted Songtext / Lyric

Now it sees that night is day

My uneasy focus has slipped away

Drunk from the poison cup brings sheer relief to me

Head full of the news, twenty-first century



Bring along your old banjo, I want to hear you play

Gonna play an old sad song to blow away the day

One that trips off the tongue, I wanna hear what you say

Everybody sing along, now everybody pray



Because the first time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted

This time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted

First time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted

This time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted






Changing weather blows away

But the slaughter and the showbiz

These are here to stay



So bring along your old banjo, I want to hear you play

Gonna play an old sad song to blow away the day

Everybody sing along, now everybody pray



Because the first time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted

This time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted

First time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted

This time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted

This time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted

This time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted



Changing weather blows away
