I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no girl reaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm ridin' round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signing that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl
Who tells me baby better come back later next week
'Cause you see I'm on losing streak
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say
- (I can't get no) Satisfaction , Rolling stones
why is it that we've all seem to have our basic needs and wants fulfilled, yet we still aren't satisfied? we still yearn and ache for the excess, and in the course of not getting it, we ache and burn more, blaming our fortune; what surrounds us; the people around us; the people who couldn't/wouldn't fulfill our wants............. everyone and everything else.................. aside from our own selves.............. are we that blind? or ignorant? or just plain stupid? or self-righteous? i can sy for sure that i'm definitely not satistifed the way i am................. i'm just........... nonchalent............... not satisfied, but nonchalent........... as if what i have and own were a given, that's it's my given right............ i do look at those who are less fortunate and thin about how fortunate i am, but i also look at those who have what i don't, and think
'why can't i have that too?' is it just a human condition? it seems so................ but it is this inability to be satisfied that's gonna slowly eat away at us isn't it? i desperately want something i can never have.... i think.............. i even hanker after it............. obsessing myself with it.................... it's not doing anyone any good......... least of all not me........ but do i care? well, a lil............. but not enough for me to snap out of it and tell myself to get a life........................
life is a paradox................ how can one be so totally obsessive over something that once doesn't even own? would anyone care to enlighten me on that one? hmmm........... i can't get no satisfaction......... truly............
They say everything can be replaced
They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
They say every man needs protection
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall
