I Know What You Want
Oh, TV stop depressing us
Give us a specimen grin
Everything you say is so disappointing
Give us something
That could be worth wanting
I know what you want
You want something to cheer you up
You want to sit in A.L. big field under the sun
I know what you want
You want to think you're having fun
As you stare into barrel of a gun
Sometimes it seems life's so ordinary
Never hitting the mark
We're missing stitches in this close-knit
Community, they're tearing all our houses
Down to build a shopping theme park
They know what we want
We want something to cheer us up
We want to sit in a big field under the sun
They know what we want we
Want to think we're having fun
As we stare into the barrel of the gun
The writing's on the wall
And it's making my skin crawl
But while Rome burns
They're fiddling the figures
We warm our hands in the flames
They say it's luxury
Just stay down on your knees
They toss us a cherry
As they're eating our cake
Because they know what we want
We want something to cheer us up
We want to sit in a field under the sun
They know what we want
We want to think we're having fun
As we stare into the barrel of a gun
Give us a specimen grin
Everything you say is so disappointing
Give us something
That could be worth wanting
I know what you want
You want something to cheer you up
You want to sit in A.L. big field under the sun
I know what you want
You want to think you're having fun
As you stare into barrel of a gun
Sometimes it seems life's so ordinary
Never hitting the mark
We're missing stitches in this close-knit
Community, they're tearing all our houses
Down to build a shopping theme park
They know what we want
We want something to cheer us up
We want to sit in a big field under the sun
They know what we want we
Want to think we're having fun
As we stare into the barrel of the gun
The writing's on the wall
And it's making my skin crawl
But while Rome burns
They're fiddling the figures
We warm our hands in the flames
They say it's luxury
Just stay down on your knees
They toss us a cherry
As they're eating our cake
Because they know what we want
We want something to cheer us up
We want to sit in a field under the sun
They know what we want
We want to think we're having fun
As we stare into the barrel of a gun
