We Want More

John Butler Trio

When I was young

I longed to be a soldier

Playing war on the street

With Billy and my brother

Remembering all them years ago

Pop said, don't be a pawn in a rich man's war

You can't pick a side living on a ball

That only fight's to save your soul

 

Kid when I look around

And witness all the horror

 

And all the things that we do to hurt one another

I got to open the gates

 

We want more

We want more

Got everything

Can't find what we're looking for

We want more

We want more

Tell me what it means

Feeding this machine

 

When I was putting my little boy to bed

What about all the war and fighting he said

Everybody at school talking about World War Three

Can you tell me what's gonna happen to our family?

 

Kid when I look around

And witness all the horror

And all the things that we do to hurt one another

Could make you lose your hope

Lose your faith

Go AWOL on the human race

Got to believe in love

More than I do in hate

And when they raise the walls

You got to open the gates

 

We want more

We want more

Got everything

Can't find what we're looking for

We want more

We want more

Tell me what it means

Feeding this machine

 

We want more

We want more

Got everything

Can't find what we're looking for

We want more

We want more

Tell me what it means

Feeding this machine

 

We want more

We want more

Got everything

Can't find what we're looking for

We want more

We want more

Tell me what it means

Feeding this machine

 

We want more

We want more

We want more

We want more

We want more

We want more

We want more

We want more
