Get
Embrace Life's Riches: RX Bandits' Powerful Message
Lyrics
No time to get what you wanted,
No time to obtain desired things; emphasis on urgency.
It's time to get what you need.
It's time to acquire necessary things; shift focus to essentials.
No time to get what you wanted,
Reiteration: insufficient time for personal wants.
It's time to get what you need.
Emphasizing the importance of fulfilling basic needs now.
There's a girl at the corner store who says that her life is such a bore.
Introduction of a character dissatisfied with life, seeking more.
"I need more money and I'll be complete"
Expressing desire for material wealth to achieve completeness.
Now she's selling her body.
The consequence of pursuing material wealth – selling one's body.
Baby doll well now can't you see that all the best things in life are free?
Contrast: true happiness comes from non-material, free things.
You don't need to be a millionaire to be happy,
Affirmation that wealth isn't a prerequisite for happiness.
And we're all getting older.
Acknowledging the inevitable aging process.
No time to get what you wanted,
Reiteration: Scarce time for personal desires.
It's time to get what you need.
Highlighting the immediate necessity of obtaining essentials.
No time to get what you wanted baby,
Reiteration of limited time for personal wants, adding difficulty.
But it's so hard, it's so hard to see.
Acknowledging the challenge in recognizing essential needs.
I met a man who was already dead,
Introduction of a character facing a destructive path.
With a needle in his arm and a gun to his head.
Describing a dire situation involving drugs and danger.
He said "I need more money for just one more hit, Or at least one more bullet."
Linking the need for money to sustain destructive habits.
In this land of hypocrisy, where all of the best things in life are free
Commentary on societal contradictions where valuable things are free.
You don't need to be a movie star or on T.V.
Reiteration: Fame and media presence aren't necessary for happiness.
And we're all getting older.
Reaffirming the inevitability of aging.
No time to get what you wanted,
Reiteration: Limited time to fulfill personal desires.
It's time to get what you need.
Emphasizing the urgency of acquiring essential needs.
No time to get what you wanted honey,
Reiteration: Time constraints on personal desires, with added difficulty.
But it's so hard, it's so hard to see.
Highlighting the challenge in recognizing and fulfilling needs.
No time to get what you wanted,
Final reiteration: Limited time for personal wants.
It's time to get what you need.
Emphasis on the immediate need to obtain essential things.
