Would Not Come

[Verse 1] If I make a lot of tinsel then people will want to If I am hardened, no fear of further abandonment If I am famous, then maybe I'll feel good in this skin and If I am cultured, my words will somehow garner respect [Chorus] And I would throw a party, still it would not come I would bike, run, swim and still it would not come I go traveling and still it would not come I would starve myself and still it would not come [Verse 2] If I am masculine, I will be taken more seriously If I take a break, it would make me irresponsible then If I'm elusive, I will surely be sought after often If I need assistance then I must be incapable [Chorus] I be filthy rich and still it would not come I would seduce them and still it would not come I would drink vodka and still it would not come I have an orgasm still it would not come [Verse 3] If I accumulate knowledge, I'll be impenetrable If I am aloof no one will know when they strike a nerve and If I keep my mouth shut, the boat will not have to be rocked If I am vulnerable I will be trampled upon [Chorus] And I would go shopping and still it would not come I leave the country and still it would not come I would scream and rebel, still it would not come I would stuff my face and still it would not come I be productive and still it would not come I be celebrated, still it would not come I be the hero and still it would not come I renunciate and still it would not come
