Can't Be Satisfied - Andy Cooper

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
