What we Wanted |

We never really got what we wanted
We never really got what we need
We never really got what we wanted
Though we tried, though we tried

This man came up to me and said "hey how you doin' G?
Well my life's living out like a frankenstein.
If it were up to me I'd do it again and do it again
And never stop to listen to them.
They say that we're free but how can that be,spending all our time on the dime.
They say that we're free but how can that be. I haven't seen you in a long time"

We never really got what we wanted
We never really got what we need
We never really got what we wanted
Though we tried, though we tried

This woman came up to sing and play and on the stage she said:
"God will love you anyways. 'Cause there's no sinners and there's no saint.
'cause god don;t analyze and evaluate.
I spent my life all away from me. I was holed up in a monastery.
No I'm 59 and looking for time since I moved out of those confines.

We never really got what we wanted
We never really got what we need
We never really got what we wanted
Though we tried, though we tried
