Whalen: Music
It Ain't Ever Enough
(Whalen)
Questions hang questions loom in the air
Swarm the room and tempt the brave and the fair
Fair enough, the answers breathe in the room
But the ill and crude are quick to assume
I got a head full but it ain’t ever enough
Easier to take the simple, easy to spoon
Shoved down the throat it’s opportune
With a taste so foul that it rips me apart
I know the harder is better deep in my heart
I got a belly full, but it ain’t ever enough
Brought Down, Brought down to the ground
Hands are rough, But it ain’t ever enough
God damn, God damn unknowing luck
I know too much, But it ain’t ever, it ain’t ever enough
Asked a favor asked to fall into line
Done before a few thousand times
Fallen in better than required
Even better still is heard and always desired
I’ve heard an earful, of it ain’t ever enough
Brought Down, Brought down to the ground
Hands are rough, But it ain’t ever enough
God damn, God damn unknowing luck
I know too much, But it ain’t ever, it ain’t ever enough
All paid up, all square in the books
Turn to hands laid out and wanting looks
Looks that tug and pull the head and the hand
Scramble to find some more whatever I can
I gave it all, but it ain’t ever enough
Brought Down, Brought down to the ground
Hands are rough, But it ain’t ever enough
God damn, God damn unknowing luck
I know too much, But it ain’t ever, it ain’t ever enough
