The Obscenity Prayer (Give It to Me) Lyrics
Give to me my time and money
Give to me my milk and honey
Give to me my self respect
Golden chains around my neckGive to me my super model
Corporate jet and champagne bottle
Get me out there on the town
Let me spread my wealth aroundI could learn to love this life I lead
But just dont take away the things I needI feel rosy in the pink
So just dont make me stop and think
All those dark thoughts in my head
Seem like better left unsaidGive it to me
(Give it, give it, give it, give it)
Give it to me
(Give it, give it, give it, give it)
Give it to me
(Give it, give it, give it, give it)
(Give it, give it, give it, give it)Give to me my latest fashion
Make my lover burn with passion
Give to me my charm and wit
Keep my body young and fitGive to me my haute couture
Give the world a cancer cure
Serve my breakfast au frescoe
Let the wine and liquor flowI can search for truth some other time
But right now I just wanna get what's mineLet the gangsters rule the street
While teachers try to make ends meet
I despise all bleeding hearts
I dont patronize the artsGive it to me
(Give it, give it, give it, give it)
Give it to me
(Give it, give it, give it, give it)
Give it to me
(Give it, give it, give it, give it)
Right nowI don't understand what it is you're trying to sell
Or what it is you're trying to tell me
You're tryin' to get me to show some compassion
Man, that's so outta fashionGive to me my Aspen winter
Sorry 'bout the World Trade Center
I cant help the ones in need
Ive got my own mouth to feedGive to me my Playboy Channel
Killer weed and sheets of flannel
Lay me down upon my bed
With pleasant dreams to fill my headJust look at what this world is coming to
And there aint one damn thing that I can doI dont have a leg to stand on
I dont have a net to land on
I dont have the base of power
I dont have the extra hourGive it to me
(Give it, give it, give it, give it)
Give it to me
(Give it, give it, give it, give it)
Give it to me right now
(Give it, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it)Give to me my tax cut outsource
Build me my own private golf course
The Dixie Chicks can kiss my ass
But I still need that backstage passGive to me my Nasdaq numbers
Intel shares and E-trade blunders
Soldiers to defend my freedom
And a script for Valium if I need emAnd give it to me
(Give it, give it, give it, give it)
Give it to me
(Give it, give it, give it, give it)
Give it to me right now
(Give it, give it, give it, give it)
