That's all they want lyrics

That's all they want

words and music: © Irene Bom

1. I like to be anchorman
I like to feel I’m in demand
My brother is the real thing -
a charismatic leader
But I’m the man in the moment
I’m the man at hand

CHORUS:
I gave them what they wanted –
permission to revel
I gave them what they wanted –
permission to be rebels
I gave them a feast and this gaudy beast
´Cause that’s what they want.

2. It’s so unreal – this much control
This spinning wheel poisons the soul
My brother’s up the mountain
communing with his maker
While I’m the joker in the spotlight
Messing about with gold.

(Repeat Chorus)

BRIDGE:
Why wait? Why be patient?
Why be different from other nations?
Better, better, better to forget
Better, better, better to pretend to blend in
No sense in taking a stand
If you don’t believe in a promised land

(Repeat Chorus)

Last line: ´Cause that’s all they want
