joe crookston – satisfied lyrics

Loading...

on easter sunday morning when i was a kid
i searched and found the candy basket that my grandma hid
next to the jelly beans, tucked in carefully
was roald dahl’s charlie and the chocolate factory

i opened up the pages, fantastical delights
and i hoped that me and charlie would be the ones that might
find the winning ticket beneath the candy wrapper there
and if we won i said, i will be satisfied, i swear

and ain’t it funny how no matter what you have, it’s not enough?
and even if you win the prize it’s not all you thought it was
ain’t it funny how no matter what you have, you still want more?
if charlie found that ticket, i’d be satisfied, i swore

so eagerly i read along, wondering what was next
the grownups talked religion and the table had been set
the golden ham was beings sliced and mashed potatoes served
but i was craving hungrily for that ticket we deserved

and ain’t it funny how no matter what you have, it’s not enough?
and even if you win the prize it’s not all you thought it was
ain’t it funny how no matter what you have, you still want more?
if charlie found that ticket, i’d be satisfied, i swore

and the grownups, after dinner, sliced envelopes and tore
uncle bernie passed out halmark cards, a hundred, maybe more
expectantly they peered beneath the pastel envelopes
looking to the risen lord to deliver them
religion was the wrapper, redemption was the prize
me and charlie kept the faith as each page turned on by

and ain’t it funny how no matter what you have, it’s not enough?
and even if you win the prize it’s not all you thought it was
ain’t it funny how no matter what you have, you still want more?
if charlie found that ticket, i’d be satisfied
and if the risen lord delivered them
they’d be satisfied
we’d be satisfied
we swore
