Lyrics - What Do You Want From Life by Tubes

What do you want from life
To kidnap an heiress and threaten her with a knife
What do you want from life
To get cable
TV and watch it every night
There you sit a lump in your chair
Where do you sleepand what do you wearwhen you're sleeping
What do you want from lifean
Indian guru to show you the inner light
What do you want from lifea meaningless love affairwith a girl that you met tonight
How can you tell when you're doin' alright
Does your bank account swell
While you're dreaming at night
How do you know when you're really in love
Do violins play when you're touching the one
That you're loving
What do you want from life
Someone to love and somebody you can trust
What do you want from lifeto try and be happy
While you do the nasty things you must
What do you want from life
What do you want from life
What do you want from life
What do you want from life
Well you can't have that,but if you're an
American citizenyou are entitled to:a heated kidney shaped pool,a microwave oven (don't watch the food cook,)a dynagym,
I'll personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home,a king size titanic unsinkable
Molly
Brown waterbed with polybendum,a foolproof planand an airtight alibi,real simulated indian jewelry,a
Gucci shoetree,a years supply of antibiotics,a personally autographed picture of
Randy
Mantooth,and
Bob

Kama
Sutra coffee cup,or a baby's arm holding an apple.
