Don't Always Want

(Angelo)

Nowaydays people want more, more, but so do I.
My brother told me once: "You always want what you DON'T have,
But take a look at all the things you DO have!"
So the reason why I wrote this song was to express to you what I think is wrong.
I'd like to be just a little taller,
I'd like to be just a little prettier,
I'd like to be just a little stronger, but hey, whatever

Don't always want what you don't have
But be grateful for what you have.
Don't always want what you don't have
But be grateful for what you have.

Well, you can call me the consuminator 'cause I never stop
Feeding myself with all these obstacles until I drop.
I want a house and fat car, my own sauna and a pool,
Have a yacht, my own plane and finely be cool,
I'm like that kid screaming to his mama: "I want that toy"
'Cause my filled room at home no longer gives me that joy
And I would not recommend myself as someone to employ 'cause I want it all.

Don't always want what you don't have
But be grateful for what you have.
Don't always want what you don't have
But be grateful for what you have. (2x)

I want the world just to leave me alone,
Wanna move to New York and learn the saxophone,
I wanna jam with Miles Davis and John Coltran,
I've got so many wishes, I think I'm going insane
But what the hell am I supposed to do
'Cause I'm trying real hard to undo all the emptiness inside me
Which is why I want so much

Don't always want what you don't have
But be grateful for what you have.
Don't always want what you don't have
But be grateful for what you have.

Don't always want what you don't have 3x
But be grateful for what you have…
