Don’t Be Satisfied
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was raised in a middle class family
And I bounced in a shiny new car
Daddy's [?] good cold fear
That I wouldn't go far
I could be a lawyer and win a case
Or be a doctor or make a decision
But I'm taking the hollow, take it today
I wanna go rags to riches
Take it all the way
Now that I want
To make it on my own
I see
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be, I said
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be, I said
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be
It feels better to make it big
And fall a few times to feel the pain
When I get back up on my feet again
[?] My name
Take it all the way
Now that I want
To make it on my own
I see
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be, I said
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be, I said
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be
