Not Getting What I Want by The Wellingtons (Australia) Lyrics

Well it’s not raining but it’s really cold
It could be worse, it could be better I know
As I walk this creek in search of an explanation
Cos when I was young I thought I would go far
I could play football or be a rock ’n’ roll star
Nothing’s in my way as the world laid down before me
You better watch out world, cos here I come

I guess I’m not getting what I want
I was never good enough
This ‘ain't how my life was supposed to go
What happened to my hopes and dreams
This is all I get it seems

Cos when i was young I’d piss on lemon trees
But now this world is just pissing on me
And the best I can hope for is not hurting anyone else
Cos no one screams or even knows my name
When I’m walking down the street or I’m standing on a stage
And I’m sorry to whinge cos I’ve got no good reason to complain
I was a dreamer til’ my dreams got burned
Another broken pipe dream here
I guess I can confirm my fears
Cos now I know that I’m not getting any wiser, just older

Cos I used to sing to living on a preyer
But I got stuck kinda half way there
And my drop punt was never that good anyway

I don’t wanna be a no-one
I thought that I would be a someone
