No time to get what you wanted,

It's time to get what you need.

No time to get what you wanted,

It's time to get what you need.

There's a girl at the corner store who says that her life is such a bore.

"I need more money and I'll be complete"

Now she's selling her body.

Baby doll well now can't you see that all the best things in life are free?

You don't need to be a millionaire to be happy,

And we're all getting older.

No time to get what you wanted,

It's time to get what you need.

No time to get what you wanted baby,

But it's so hard, it's so hard to see.

I met a man who was already dead,

With a needle in his arm and a gun to his head.

He said "I need more money for just one more hit, Or at least one more bullet."

In this land of hypocrisy, where all of the best things in life are free

You don't need to be a movie star or on T.V.

And we're all getting older.

No time to get what you wanted,

It's time to get what you need.

No time to get what you wanted honey,

But it's so hard, it's so hard to see.

No time to get what you wanted,

It's time to get what you need
