Everybody wants what they want |
|
It's the way we've learned to live |
|
Everybody wants ehat they want |
|
But no one wants to give |
|
Everybody wants some happiness |
|
At someone else's expense |
|
We choke on our fill |
|
We live in excess |
|
But we buy, lie, and kill |
|
In the pursuit of happiness |
|
Everybody wants some peace of mind |
|
So they ignore the guilt |
|
But you can't erase this land's disgrace |
|
Or the blood we have spilt |
|
Everybody wants the greener grass |
|
That's on their neighbor's lawn |
|
It's why wars are waged |
|
And freedom's caged |
|
And coffins are filled with pawns |
|
Everybody wants to fight the fight |
|
But no one wants to bruise |
|
Everybody wants to die a martyr |
|
But pray on padded pews |
|
Everybody needs to hear the truth |
|
About our emptiness |
|
That Jesus Christ |
|
Is the end of the search |
|
In the pursuit of happiness |
