A Piece Of What You Need
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.
Is this what we really want,
Background music from a restaurant?
Spare me, It's doing in my head
Drop dead gorgeous teen
Singing pages from her diary
So bad you'd kick her out of bed
Break down the stupid wall
Stop doing what you're told
And don't believe a thing you see
Red Light, drop that ball
Stop getting everything you want
And get a PIECE of what you need
Life on the happy pills,
Count on Pfizer to erase our ills
It's working,
I'm feeling pretty blank
So sing, sing soulless boy,
Give us more of your simple joy
It's soothing, money in the bank
Break down the stupid wall
Stop doing what you're told
And don't believe a thing you see
Red Light, drop that ball
Stop getting everything you want
And get a PIECE of what you need
Oh say can't you see we're kinda,
sorta living free
Staring into space,
bye bye human race
Break down the stupid wall
Let's stop doing what we're told
And don't believe a thing you see
Red Light, drop that ball
Let's stop getting everything we want
And get a PIECE of what we need
