Get What I Need

It was 30 years ago since we smashed the window
Of that northern California house
A safety pin in my ear on Cayton's bike
Playing Bad Brains fuckin' loud
Smoking weed on the streets in the California heat
Spray paint on the walls
Stealing booze, cracked a tooth, we had nothing else to lose
Getting wasted to twist and crawl

Someday, you'll find everything'll be alright
I lost myself just to get what I want again
Lost myself just to get what I want again
Someday, you'll see everything I left behind
I lost myself just to get what I want again
Lost myself just to get, to get what I need
To get what I need

Fade away in my head again
Watch the days, the months, the years turn to rust
Skies are gray, but will I be okay?
Watch the memories I made turn to dust

Someday, you'll find everything'll be alright
I lost myself just to get what I want again
Lost myself just to get what I want again
Someday, you'll see everything I left behind
I lost myself just to get what I want again
Lost myself just to get, to get what I need

Sometimes, to get what I want, don't get what I need
To get what I want, I don't get what I need
To get what I want, don't get what I need
To get what I want, I don't get what I need

Someday, you'll find everything'll be alright
I lost myself just to get what I want again
Lost myself just to get what I want again
Someday, you'll see everything I left behind
I lost myself just to get what I want again
Lost myself just to get, to get what I need
To get what I need
To get what I need
To get what I need
To get what I need
