Yep, hey friend, your misery bewilders me
How come you're never satisfied or gratified
Four walls an' a roof, electricity
Stable mind, wife and child
Hot and cold water to run anytime
But still you, whine, "I want more"
A bum could rummage through ya bin
And live like a king
On just one crumb o'ya cake
An' ya say ya life needs fulfilling
Some would give anything
To live like you
Shame your mind, don't shine
Like your possessions do
Whining, complaining all the time
Don't see no rain on you
What side your bread is buttered on
If only you knew
What d'ya mean, I want more, yep
I was told as a child
All I want, never get
Learned to count my blessings
Long before I saw an abacus
So what ya family don't speak
At least they're alive
Show me a man without guilt
Or a soul that ain't lied
You don't know what ya got
Open your eyes, look around
Really, hear me
You ain't got no reason to be down
What d'ya mean, I want more
Friend what is it that you seek
What is it that you try to find?
Someday I hope you realized
It shined in you all the time
Hills to climb, sights to see, seas to cross
Friends to make, hands to shake, the world is yours
Foods to taste, sounds to hear, love to feel
Seeds to sew, things to know, fish to reel
Space to quiz, stones to lift, life's a gift
What d'ya mean, I want more, yep
What d'ya mean, I want more, yep
