[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
There's a girl at the corner store
Who says that her life is such a bore, now
"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 of the best things in life are free?
You don't need to be a millionaire to be happy
And we're all getting older

[Chorus]
No time to get what you wanted
It's time to get what you need
No time to get what you wanted, baby
It's so hard, it's so hard to see

[Verse 2]
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 TV
Now we're all getting older

[Chorus]
No time to get what you wanted
It's time to get what you need
No time to get what you wanted, honey
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
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
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
No time to get what you wanted, baby
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
No time to get what you wanted, honey
It's so hard, it's so hard to see
