Lyrics Can't Be Satisfied - Andy Cooper

Can't Be Satisfied

I can’t be satisfied, still want more
No matter how bad I try I just get bored
I can’t be satisfied, I can’t fill the void
No matter how bad I try still find myself annoyed
Ever since I could recall
I’ve needed what I wanted and I wanted it all
But even when I attained everything I desired
It didn’t take long 'til the thrill was tired
So I’d find something new that I could try to pursue
But in vain I strain the claw
Can’t get to Promised Land, I can’t find that Shangri-La
So with an itch to scratch I tried this and that
And I mix and match all of the myths and facts
I don’t wanna believe that I’m in a conundrum
I can’t concede that my life is humdrum
Like walking in wet cement
Yeah, you can laugh and act content
Go play the role but you plainly know
At the end of the day you’re insatiable
You can’t be satisfied, you want more
No matter how bad you try you get bored
We can’t be satisfied, can’t find the groove
No matter how bad we try, no matter what do we do
I knew a guy with a simple dream
He wanted to earn a living on the hip hop scene
And he said that making songs was the thing he enjoyed
And all he ever asked for was to be employed — well
My boy did better than that
He nabbed a smash hit and a platinum plaque
And now a shot in the dark is at the top of the chart
And everywhere he ever goes people stop him remark (hey!)
He indulged in the typical stuff
Trying to get full — it was never enough
So he circles the globe to research every road
For the purpose or goal where he’d assert some control — but
All he found is a lot of despair
And soon he’d given up on the entire affair
Now he’s lying on the floor of a penthouse crib
Just looking for a reason to live
He couldn’t be satisfied, he got bored
No matter how bad he tried he needed more
We can’t be satisfied, can’t catch the wind
No matter how bad we try, coming up short again
I can’t be satisfied
I can’t be satisfied
No matter how bad I try
It just gets amplified
