"What We All Want" lyrics

"What We All Want"
(originally by Gang Of Four)

This is what spins me out
Well, I can't put my finger on it
It's not from lack of trying
Well, I can't help but be hard up, oh
I don't trust the God you trust
I don't trust the God you trust
I don't trust the God you trust
But don't think that's my insurance

Could I be happy with something else?
I need something to fill my time
Could I be happy with something else?
I need something to fill my time

And this is just what fucks me off
Nothing to work toward
Just doubt and nagging worry
Nothing to work for

Could I be happy with something else?
I need something to fill my time
Could I be happy with something else?
I need something to fill my time

I got this demon on my back every day
It's the hope that will not fade
We cannot help but be hard up
We cannot help but be hard up
When what we want's not what we got

Could I be happy with something else?
I need something to fill my time
Could I be happy with something else?
I need something to fill my time
I need something to fill my time
