I Don't Know What You Want

by Ian Hunter & The Rant Band

on When I'm President (2012)

Just take some more time and I'll explain just what I see
My need to be blind behind a laptop looking screen
Discount my interests, 'cause I'm not what I've been
The entitlement generation, always heard but never seen

Well I don't know what you want, no I don't know what you want

But I have to keep trying, never once can I be free
I'm no good with complying, no it never suited me
A consumer, late bloomer, telling lies but living free
A victim of American teenage mentality

Well I don't know what you want, no I don't know what you want
No I don't know what you want
No I don't know what you want
No I don't know what you want

I'm a token, not broken, but ready to concede
It's a race I'm not winning, getting harder just to breathe
You assume I don't understand, and I play it down
It's just a phase, but we're needing some more time

I just want you to tell me that you care
I just want you to tell me that you care
I just want you to tell me that you care
I just want you to tell me that you care

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
