heads of state - don't ask for much lyrics

[intro]
desire
here’s the starting point for all achievement, but it’s here that leads you off the line into a roadblock
a person will say; “well i know what i desire, but can i get it?”
you would not have the desire, unless you were capable of its achievement
every man without desire, has within him no principle of action, no (unintelligible)…

[hook x2]
don’t ask for much, just a roof over my head
don’t ask for much, just a few cones before bed
don’t ask for much, just enough to hold my own
and some sp-ce to start a new generation and watch them grow

[verse 1:]
i don’t ask for much, just shelter and food
and maybe a bit of cash, for weed, smokes and booze
and also a job where i don’t have to work mornings
and it can’t be a servant and it can’t be boring
so it’s awesome, that i get to rock a mic
and sleep in all day, and work in a bar at nights
keeping in mind what i said, maybe i’m asking for a bit
but i get what needs doing, done and set goals and sh-t
??hold there quick??, cause i’m only asking for the creature comforts
just the basic, like my girlfriend and my crew giving me loving
and something else would be to one day settle down
with my better half
and raise some kids somewhere in t-ssie’s south
but for now, this is what i ask
to hang out with my mates and either chill or go hard
until the serious stuff starts, i’ll just have a laugh
don’t ask for much accept to remain on my current path

[hook x2]

[verse 2:]
you know, you think with all these g’s making their millions off rap
that a guy like me could see maybe a bit of the cash
enough to get me a nice house built on some land
with an intimate lab so i can kick my sh-t at the back
chill on a track, just macking with my brothers and kids
treat my girl like a queen and never struggle for sh-t
booze soaked in as everybody skulling the p-ss
playing bossa novas and singing getting drunk with my sis
somewhere safe to sleep, some staples to eat
some decent clothes and some place to make my beats
and occasionally something nice to add to my home
and to keep rapping at shows and some cash to just blow
i want a release from all the protocol and ??rate/raid/grade?? some crazy sh-t
cause nowadays you gotta pay to be spontaneous
i’m aiming for success, don’t really care for the fame with it
whatever, i’ll be making tracks and bringing my babies up

[bridge]
a good way to determine whether or not you really have a burning desire, is to examine the way you go after it
if you go after, that which you think you desire, tentatively, timidly, in an attempt to play it safe, you don’t have a burning desire at all
but if you’re willing to say once and for all; “this is it. this is what i will do and i will never retreat i’ll will never go back”
then you have the sort of desire that can only end in success

[verse 3:]
i know there’s heaps of people out there struggling way worse than me
many dove into the deep end and didn’t come up to breathe
but you see, ain’t gonna tell you how the world’s so wrong
cause really, that ain’t the f-cking point of this song
this one’s bout dreaming and, endless supplies of spliffs
and never ending cartons of beer and packets of ciggs
and maybe i ask for sound to be perfect at every gig
and to never encounter another shady person in this music biz
but perfect isn’t a thing that life tends to stick to
and a lot of the time life sucks, and many say it’s true
so this dude thinks that he’s got a pot to p-ss in
and i think that the people that guided me to my current position
so when i’m wishing, i know it won’t happen
unless it’s something i have to work hard for, and put my back into
so when it’s my time, i hope i’m never napping
and stay true to myself and always continue my rapping

[hook x2]

[verse 4:]
yeah
see i don’t want sh-t on a platter i don’t mind serving my time
as long as the end of it i get what’s deservedly mine
money’s fine, but i try and find my purpose in life
and my ancestors have done enough of work on the line
i wish that everyone would have as much cash as me
and for all women and children to be relaxed and free
and to pay for schools with better way that hacking trees
and packing cheap wood chips off to the j-panese
and for politics to be less about the left and right
and about poor people and what gets them by
and for society to help try nurture intelligence
respect difference but find skin colour irrelevant
keep technology but bring economy back to basics
and have fossil fuel company heads -ss-ssinated
i ain’t asking for much just some more love in the place
and for everyone to just start giving a f-ck again

[hook x2]

[outro x4]
desire, desire, desire, desire…
