We Want More Songtext
von 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
