Anything You Want

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 that's bullshit

as the years go passing by like heartless people past Homelessness

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



"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)
