Everybody Wants The Same Thing
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.
If your waiting for your wings
But you've just got legs
And you're feeding all your chickens
But they won't lay eggs
When you open up your drawer and see your janky clothes
Just remember life's in love with you, but let's suppose
That God ain't gonna drop you no hundred dollar bill
You got to question your intentions
'Cause the bad ones kill
Everybody wants the same thing
Everybody wants the same thing
No trading places on the chain gang
It doesn't matter how you swing it
Everybody wants the same thing
When your exit sign is coming could be round any bend
Now did you live your life proper, did you just pretend
That you knew what you was talkin' 'bout
Which side was your fence
When the hammer comes down it never makes no sense
Chaos is not a vitrue, paranoia loads the bases
Just imagine giant rivers overflowing with their faces
Everybody wants the same thing
Everybody wants the same thing
No trading places on the chain gang
It doesn't matter how you swing it
Everybody wants the same thing
What is it that you want?
What is it that you give?
Where do you plan on finding it?
How do you want to live?
I said
Love is what I want
Love is what I give
Right here's where I'm finding it
That's how I'm going to live
Everybody wants the same thing
Everybody wants the same thing
No trading places on the chain gang
It doesn't matter how you swing it
Everybody wants the same thing
That's how I'm gonna live
Everybody wants the same thing
Come on, come on, come on, come on
