[Verse 1]
I was growing up and out
I asked my mom what it was all about
But she told me
It left me unsatisfied

[Verse 2]
Started school when I was five
Twenty years later, I'm still alive
What they told me
It left me unsatisfied

[Verse 3]
Started hanging out with the boys
Talking loud and making noise
Showed me
New ways to be satisfied

[Verse 4]
Didn't believe what they had to say
I went along with it anyway
I got happy
But I wasn't satisfied

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Only the real friends
[?]
I never see them
What did they sell me?
Why did they tell me all their lies?
Where is my freedom?
I started a winner
From every sinner
Show me how
To [?]
[?]
[Chorus 1]
Someone tell me what I'm supposed to believe
You say that you got what I want, but you know what I need
[?] sorrow and grief
Somebody throw me a line

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
Somebody throw me a line!
Found me a girl with some pretty hair
Ended up worse for the wear and tear
She loved me
But that didn't satisfy

[Verse 6]
I got a job, and I'm always tired
I spend my days just trying to get myself fired
It's money
But that doesn't satisfy

[Verse 7]
I got a sauna and a real hot tub
My friends come over and they rub-a-dub-a-dub
It soothes me
But that doesn't satisfy
[Verse 8]
It's like that old song by Peggy Lee
"Is That All There Is?" Now you can
Tell me
I think I'd rather die

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I've chased too many rainbows
Painted with Day-Glo
Now I know
There ain't no pot of gold
Why should bother?
Why should I follow anything
Just because I'm told?
Call me a pessimist
And I'll say, "Yes, I'm [?]"
I should have been told
Have you heard?

[Chorus 2]
Somebody tell me what I'm supposed to believe
You say that you've got what I want, but I know what I need
I've been to [?]
{?]
Somebody throw me a line
[Spoken Outro]
Thank you!
