lyrics

I don’t need the rich to bow.
They’ll get theirs someday anyhow.
I don’t need the American dream.
I’m fine being on the losing team.
I don’t want the world to burn.
I need this thing to turn to turn.
I don’t need another try.
Someone already got it right.
I don’t need the sun to shine.
I’m fine with rain most of the time.
I don’t need the crowd to hush.
Let them chatter if they must.
I don’t need quiet and peace.
I don’t need to call the police.

For right now at least
what I think I need is
you.

I don’t need to settle any scores
in a holier than thou sort of war.
I don’t need the bad guy to pay.
Let that dog have its day.
I don’t need to know the truth,
to see inside the wizard’s booth.
I don’t need fortune & fame.
What really matters stays the same.
I don’t need you to be true.
I’ll be me and you be you.
I don’t need to travel around.
The sky is the sky. Ground is ground.
I don’t need to know myself.
I can play the hand I’m delt.

For right now at least
what I think I need is
you.
You.
