What Do You Want From Life? (Live At Hammersmith Odeon, London, 1977)
Lyrics
What do you want from life?
To kidnap an heiress
Or threaten her with a knife?
What do you want from life?
To get cable TV
And watch it every night
There you sit, a lump in your chair
Where do you sleep
And what do you wear
When you're sleepin'?
What do you want from life?
An Indian guru
To show you the inner light
What do you want from life?
A meaningless love affair
With a girl that you met tonight
How can you tell when you're doin' alright?
Does your bank account swell
While you're dreamin' at night?
How do know when you're really in love?
Do violins play when you're touching the one
That you're lovin'? oh
What do you want from life?
What do you want from life?
Someone to love
And somebody you can trust
What do you want from life?
What do you want from life?
To try and be happy
While you do the nasty things you must
What do you want from life?
What do you want from life?
What do you want from life?
What do you want from life?
Well, you can't have that
But if you're an American citizen, you are entitled to
A heated kidney shaped pool, a microwave oven
Don't watch the food cook
A Dyna-Gym, I'll personally demonstrate it
In the privacy of your own home
A king size Titanic unsinkable
Molly Brown water bed with polybendum
A foolproof plan and an airtight alibi
Real simulated Indian jewelry
A Gucci shoetree, a year's supply of antibiotics
A personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth
And Bob Dylan's new unlisted phone number
A beautifully restored 3rd Reich swizzle stick
Rosemary's baby
A dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams
A new Matador, a new mastodon, a Maverick
