Say
Duncan Lyrics

Hit the town, still dressing down
Going out and searching for something, even though you don't feel fully prepared for it

Looking for some action
Searching for something to give you excitement and fulfillment

Mr. Jagger said it best
Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones sang about the fact that we can never truly be satisfied

He knows you never get, no satisfaction
Nobody can ever truly have everything they want and be completely satisfied

But Mr. Dylan knows
Bob Dylan understands certain complexities about life

That everyone is more or less a rolling stone
We all share in the human experience and have a tendency to keep moving, whether we like it or not

And Mr. Lennon, so quiet, knows better or so I've been told
John Lennon, although reserved, has gained insights into the world

That says it all, doesn't it?
All of these musicians and their words tell us the truth about the world we live in

We always want what we never get
As humans, we tend to crave things that we can't have or that aren't attainable

Well listen here, my friend
Listen to my words carefully

I can't continue to pretend
I can no longer act like everything is fine when it's not

That it's alright
That everything is acceptable or okay

Cause that ain't right
Because things are not okay and should not be accepted as such

I hear you're gonna make it big
I've heard that you're going to achieve great success

Rake it in with your master plan
You'll do this by executing your carefully thought-out strategy

Mr. Hendrix understood
Jimmi Hendrix knew some important things about life

Those are only castles made of sand
The things we create and strive for are ultimately temporary and don't last

Mr. Wilson took some pills
Brian Wilson had personal struggles and took medication

And I don't blame him
I'm not judging him for his choices

It's hard to be alive
Life can be challenging and difficult to navigate

Mr. Page, how he played
Jimmy Page was a talented guitarist

Mr. Drake stayed up late and made me cry
Nick Drake created emotional music that can make people cry

They've said it all haven't they?
These musicians have covered a lot of ground in terms of what they have said through their music

But what I want, what I want to say
However, there is something important that I need to express

No matter what we get
Even if we achieve everything we've ever wanted

We never find our happiness
We might still struggle to find true happiness and fulfillment

Ain't that a crime?
Isn't it unfair or unjust?

Maybe that's why I've been told since I was six years old to compromise
Perhaps this is why I've learned from an early age that I may have to give up some things in order to attain others

But that ain't right
However, compromising certain values or goals shouldn't be the only way to achieve success
