lyrics

I had been striving for something
Didn't know just what it was
Just knew that if I kept on going
I'd find out it was more than because
Stuck my hand into the fire
To see just how bad I'd get burned
And after all my flesh was gone
What could I say I had learned

Every addict is formed in the crucible
Of the memory of that first hit

Tried my hand at God and religion
But nothing ever seemed to stick
Too many rules and regulations
Just made my soul feel sick
Got myself into holistic healing
Then it was Scientology
They said I needed to go clear
But they couldn't figure out what was wrong with me

I need something meaningful
I need something tried and true
I need something more than I have
I need a different point of view
And once I get it I will never going to let go
'Cause once I get it
That's all I'll care to know

What's the meaning of satisfaction
Is that when we are satisfied
Do we ever get all that we need
Or must we always be open wide
Give me everything that I want
I want to feel fulfilled
Doesn't matter what I deserve
Doesn't matter how much blood is spilled
