Anything You Want(edit)
Folder:
Thought For Food my dreams have most always been beyond my resources
they say you can do anything you want, but that's bullshit
once they said a chicken in every pot but who had a pot?
everything cost money and look, some don't got
know we have to get a job doing something we can't stand and
they say you can save up your money for your wish, but the poor can't
as the years go passing by like heartless people past homeless folks,
forget saving cause you're in debt just..just to live
well i had many dreams in my life
you might refuse to believe how many times i've tried
you hear inuendos from politicians calling us lawless
well what can you do without money when you run for office
what can you do without money when you run for office
you've got to have money to get elected, you've got to have corporate friends
you have to sell your soul, i guess..-and i can't do that
you can't do 'anything you want' under that format
a stranger said "i wanted to eat but i had no money, and no place to live
they won't give me a job when i'm dressed like this"
a child of homelessness or a forgotten vet
a face of outsourcing and job cut backs
and i want to dream but i have no reason, and what chance to take
they blockade my start, i live like this
a child of hopelessness and a forgotten way
a face of the future and love cut backs
i declare love is dead
a face of the future and love cut backs
i declare love is dead
at least on life support
what can you do without money when you run for office
you've got to have money to get elected, you've got to have corporate friends
you have to sell your soul, i guess..-and i can't do that
you can't do 'anything you want' under that format
and i don't want to be president, anyway
the point i'm making is in the word play
they say "you can do anything", to the kids
i want to wake up the dead and warn the innocent
cause we've got another rich politician to sell all the rules to the poor, but it's true a social and mind revolution is still in line afterall
"you can do anything you want" - we tried
(i've never given up, i've never given up)
"you can do anything you want" - i've tried
(you stole the spirit i didn't sell the soul)
"you can do anything you want" - we try
(i've never given up, i've never given up)
we can't do anything we want you lied
(you stole the spirit i won't sell the soul)
