I Can't Get No Satisfaction (Thank God) Lyrics
You burn with the fiery passion of youth
(I can't be satisfied)
You read it in literature, so it must be the truth
You certainly know how to have a good time
(I can't be satisfied)
I had some fun about eight, but I was alright by nine
Obviously you've got something I lack
Get out and don't come back
Did you know I'm a pessimist?
Have you ever wanted to die?
Have you no decency?
It's a hard world, that's no lie
All the experiences you have had
(I can't be satisfied)
Sometime you must let me know how you tell the good from the bad
I just don't care if I get out of bed
(I can't be satisfied)
The first sign of apathy and you check to see if you're dead
Some of my best friends are bastards like you
At least they're not neurotics too
Did you know I'm a pessimist?
Have you ever wanted to die?
Have you no decency?
It's a hard world, that's no lie
(I can't be satisfied)
You read it in literature, so it must be the truth
(I can't be satisfied)
I had some fun about eight, but I was alright by nine
Get out and don't come back
Have you ever wanted to die?
Have you no decency?
It's a hard world, that's no lie
(I can't be satisfied)
Sometime you must let me know how you tell the good from the bad
(I can't be satisfied)
The first sign of apathy and you check to see if you're dead
At least they're not neurotics too
Have you ever wanted to die?
Have you no decency?
It's a hard world, that's no lie
