Lyrics

Things

[verse]

My neighbor's a Republican, but he never pays his bills on time

My neighbor's a Republican, just got his internet cut off

[spoken]

Yeah, I know - sorry, could I get the uh, wi-fi password? No, yeah, I know it's on the wall. No - I didn't use capitals. No number - well, I'm trying - if you'd let me buy something I would be the customer...

[Chorus]

I want things

Yeah, I want things

I want things

I want things to get better, and I wanna do what I wanna do

[verse]

My neighbor's an anarchist, but he never answers my emails

My neighbor the anarchist put all his friends in jail

[spoken]

Yeah, I know I'm late on the rent, I tried paying - no, you don't under- I tried to e-transfer it, but I need to get on the wi-fi and -  No, the other guy - the OTHER guy's wi-fi - well, it's cut off. Maybe you should include utilities then...

[Chorus]

We want things

We want things

We want things

We want things to get better, but we wanna do what we wanna do

We want things

We want things

We want things

We want things to get better, but we wanna do what we wanna do

[bridge]

I don't practice Santeria, I ain't got no crystal ball

[Chorus]

We want things

We want things

We want things

We want things to get better, but we wanna do what we wanna do

[outro]

We want things!

We want things!

We want things to get better, but we wanna do what we wanna do!
