Lyrics for I Don't Know What I Want
My old man says success is the measure Maybe so but I don't need the pressure Not right now cause I got enough Teachers tell me I don't lack the brains Asked to find one it sounds kinda strange Well, that's too much when I really can't take it They don't say that I'm not getting younger And I'd better make up my mind Man, you'd think I was committing some kinda crime Cause I don't know what I want I don't know what I want I don't know what I want But I want it now When I talk they just don't wanna listen When they push me away from decisions I can't wait and they wonder why Everyone says I've got no direction They want me sent to a house of correction That's too much when I really can't take it When I talk to her to leave my precepts She thought nothing I can do is right My mind is aching and I'm sick of being so uptight Cause I don't know what I want I don't know what I want I don't know what I want But I want it now All my life they complained that I'm just a dreamer I can't make a boo when they wound my pride When they say it will stop they miss improvement Well, I know what to do And I wanna guitar get it in a circle Someone give me a broom Cause I don't know what I want I don't know what I want I don't know what I want But I want it now I want it now Oh, give it to me oh, yeah.
