I Can Not Be Satisfied Song Lyrics

I Can Not Be Satisfied by Titus Andronicus

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 paralysed
(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 prison so hard to see?
Vivid colours, 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 talking properly
Has got to be a better option, please

So when you ask me why I never learn
(Ooh, ooh)
For reasons easily discerned
(Ooh, ooh)
To feel in turn with a sinner man 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

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 might not buy no plastic
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
