Potty Mouth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Big in this world
But you're held back cause you're a
Small town girl
If you could leave you wouldn't
Think twice
But I always thought this was our
You want your wishes
Well you gotta work for it bitches
Take what you get
Don't be upset
One day you'll get out of this town
Take what you get
Don't be upset
You say you wanna make a
Name for yourself
But you can't do it here cause
No one will help
If you could leave you would
Pay the price
But I always thought this was our
Paradise
You want your wishes
Well you gotta work for it bitches
You say you wanna leave
And start something new
But if that doesn't work
What will you do
Don't give up
But you should still realize
That you can't be alone in our
Paradise
You want your wishes
Well you gotta work for it bitches
Take what you get
Don't be upset
One day you'll get out of this town
Take what you get
Don't be upset
The song "Wishlist" by Potty Mouth is a reflection on the struggles of leaving a small town and striving for bigger and better things. The lyrics speak to a person who dreams of making a name for themselves but feels trapped by their current circumstances. The singer recognizes their desire to leave but also laments the loss of the town they grew up in, which they always considered to be their paradise.
The chorus "You want your wishes / Well you gotta work for it, bitches / Take what you get / Don't be upset / One day you'll get out of this town" serves as a rallying cry to those who feel stuck and discouraged in their current situation. The lyricist acknowledges the hardships that come with leaving home and starting anew, but emphasizes the importance of persistence and hard work in achieving one's goals.
The message of the song is relatable to many who have felt stuck in a small town or confined by their circumstances. It encourages listeners to pursue their dreams despite the challenges that may arise, while still acknowledging the importance of home and the people who shaped us.
