Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was young, I longed to be a soldier
Playin' war on the street with Billy and my brother
Rememberin' all them years ago
Pop said "Don't be a pawn in a rich man's war
You can't pick a side livin' on a ball
The only fight's to save your soul"
[Verse 2]
Kid, when I look around and witness all the horror
And all the things that we do to hurt one another
I gotta open the gates"
[Verse 3]
We want more
We want more
Got everything
Can't find what we're lookin' for
We want more
We want more
Tell me what it means
Feedin' this machine, hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
[Verse 4]
When I was puttin' my little boy to bed
"What about all the war and fightin'?", he said
"Everybody at school talkin' about World War III
Can you tell me what's gonna happen to our family?"
[Verse 5]
Kid, when I look around and witness all the horror
And all the things that we do to hurt one another
Could make you lose your hope, lose your faith
Go AWOL on the human race
Got to believe in love more than I do in hate
And when they raise the walls
You gotta open the gates
[Verse 6]
We want more
We want more
Got everything
Can't find what we're lookin' for
We want more
We want more
Tell me what it means
Feedin' this machine, yeah
[Verse 7]
We want more
We want more
Got everything
Can't find what we're lookin' for
We want more
We want more
Tell me what it means
Feedin' this machine, hey
[Verse 8]
We want more
We want more
Got everything
Can't find what we're lookin' for
We want more
We want more
Tell me what it means
Feedin' this machine, hey
[Verse 9]
(Hey) We want more
(Hey) We want more
(Hey) We want more
(Hey) We want more
(Hey) We want more
(Hey) We want more
(Hey) We want more
(Hey) We want more
