[Verse 1]
Some folks living in the country can't wait
To get in their pick-up trucks and go to town
There's people living in a penthouse
Dying to get out in the sticks and ride around
[Verse 2]
There's a man above the mountain top
Wants to go down breath the salt air by the shore
There's a guy on an island, he is not smiling
Don't want to be on an island anymore
[Verse 3]
There's a lady locked in a love affair
Wouldn't care if she was single again
There's a lonely soul whose only goal
Is to get that golden ring upon their hand
[Verse 4]
In the middle of nowhere where there's nobody
Trying to get that fifteen minutes of fame
Some place there's a superstar thinking
Lord, if I could only change my name
[Chorus]
Round and round and round and round we go
Why we can't be satisfied, I don't know
I don't know
[Verse 5]
There's a young man wishing he could grab the hands of time
And speed them up a year or two
There's an old man wishing he could just go back
And stop the clock and hang on to his youth
There's a stoner on the sidewalk
Wishing he could just get straight for a day
There's a man in a suit and tie
Thinking getting high might be a better way
[Chorus] [x2]
Round and round and round and round we go
Why we can't be satisfied, I don't know
From the day we're born, it seems like it never stops
Why we always want something we have not got
Oh, we have not got
[Outro]
Round and round and round and round we go
