It's Not Enough
Beyond Riches: Johnny Thunders' 'It's Not Enough' Unveils the True Cost
Lyrics
You can give me this
You can offer me various things
You can give me that
You can offer me other things
You can give me this
You can offer me this
You can give me that
You can offer me that
It's not enough
Despite the offerings, it is insufficient or unsatisfying
Money so green
Money is represented as green, and its abundance is casually observed
So casually seen
Money doesn't trouble or affect the speaker
It don't bother me
The presence of money doesn't disturb the speaker
It's not enough
Despite having money, it is still insufficient
It's not enough
Reiteration that what is available is not enough
Every town I go in
Speaker travels to different towns
Every street I walk down
Speaker walks down various streets
I can get anything I want
Speaker can obtain anything desired
I just lay my cards down
Speaker asserts dominance or confidence by laying cards down
I can count on diamonds
Speaker can rely on valuable gems like diamonds and rubies
Rubies as well
Speaker acknowledges material wealth
Oh, big deal baby
Despite material wealth, the speaker feels miserable or unsatisfied
I still feel like hell
Expressing discontent despite external success
It's not enough
Reiteration that the current state is not enough
It's not enough
Emphasizes the continued dissatisfaction
