Don't Always Want

Nowadays people want more, more and so do I

My brother told me once

You always wnat what you don't have

But take a look at all the things you do have

So the reason why I wrote this song

Was to express what I think is wrong

I'd like to be just a little bit taller

I'd like to be just a little bit prettier

I'd like to be just a little bit stronger

But hey whatever

Don't always want what you don't have

But be grateful for what you have

Don't always want what you don't have

But be grateful for what you have

Well you can call me the consumator

'Cause I never stop

Feeding myself with all these obstacles untill I drop

I want a house, a fat cat, my own sauna and a pool

Have a yacht, my own piano and finally be cool

I'm like that kid screaming to his mama "I want that toy"

'Cause my filled room at home no longer gives me that joy

And I don't recommend myself as someone to employ

'Cause I want it all

I want the world just to leave me alone

Wanna move to New York and learn the saxophone

I wanna jam with Miles Davis and John Coltran

I've got so many wishes I think I'm going insane

But what the hell am I supposed to do

'Cause I'm trying real hard to undo all the emptiness inside me

Which is why I want so much

Don't always want what you don't have

But be grateful for what you have

Don't always want what you don't have

But be grateful for what you have

Well you can call me the consumator

'Cause I never stop
