What I Want

Can't be easy working the subway train
Trying hard to get what he needs
I try to give him whatever's in my pocket but
As he is needy I feel greedy
And I feel guilty as he passes by me
It takes much more to satisfy me
His ill fate makes me feel complicated as I'm hearing his simple plea

What I want, all I want...
What I want is something to eat
I just want to get off the street
What I want is to survive
I feel like I'm barely alive
What I want is anything

My desire has always been kind to me but my desire has been my enemy
It keeps me going when I've lost the meaning
But it needs to be fed before it turns into envy

What I want, all I want...
What I want is something to buy
I want to eat the pie in the sky
What I want is a bite of success
I need to find the cheapest and best
What I want is everything

I'll let religion, I'll let philosophy clarify the cause of suffering but
I hope guilt works for them when to say it's a sin
Just to want something makes it more appealing

What I want is a reason to live
I just want something to give
What I want is to receive love
I could use some help from above
What I want is not to want anything!

What I want is to hang onto youth and a sense of the truth
What I want is to be understood in my search for the highest good
All I want is just to want what fate will bring
