Titus Andronicus - I Can Not Be Satisfied

Single mother, deadbeat dad
Bastard baby, boy gone bad
God the father, mother earth
Nature's temple, Satan's church

Baby bastard made a grave mistake today
They say it's way too great to ever take away
They made the baby stay awake too late
They found the razor blade in the strangest place

So when you ask me why I'm paralyzed (Ooh, ooh)
It's really easy to surmise (Ooh, ooh)
It's not that I'm afraid to die, no baby, I
I'm much more frightened to survive
I'm terrified to be alive
I'm petrified today
I'm terrified to be alive
Life in prison, pardon me
But is the prism so hard to see?
Vivid colors, evil schemes
Conceal the same brutality

They've got to stop their apocalypse machine
Or an atomic bomb will drop on top of me
I've got a lot of thoughts but talk properly
There's got to be a better option, please

So when you ask me why I never learn (Ooh, ooh)
The reason's easily discerned (Ooh, ooh)
To be interred within an urn that's getting burned
It surely isn't worse than I deserve
I'm just allergic to the world
Oh, I deserve to be hurt
I don't prefer to be observed

[Instrumental break]

So now you're wondering why I even try (Ooh, ooh)
Just see my green and greedy eyes (Ooh, ooh)
That's why I don't lay down and die
I tell you, I

I can not be satisfied
I can not be satisfied
I can not be satisfied
I'm madder than a bastard
And I can not be satisfied
(No, no, no-no, no)
(Sure, no, no, no-no, no)
Yeah
(Sure, no, no, no-no, no)
I know that I'm a bastard
And I can not be satisfied
Yeah
