Lyrics

A healthy appetite is good for one and all

A healthy appetite is beneficial for everyone.

And I should be at peace with the world baby, but still I want some more

Despite being at peace, the desire for more persists.

A larger slice of pie, a bigger set of wheels

Desire for a larger share of success and material possessions.

A million sets of human eyes staring right at me - come on!

Yearning for attention and recognition from others.

I want shit that's made in India

Preference for products made in India, possibly indicating exotic or unique desires.

Incense, gold and myrrh

Desire for luxurious items like incense, gold, and myrrh.

Expensive wine and peace of mind

Yearning for expensive wine and peace of mind.

A sailboat n' dancing girls

Desire for leisure activities like sailing and enjoying the company of dancing girls.

Cause I can't wait forever, no I just gotta have

Impatience to fulfill desires, unable to wait indefinitely.

Beg, steal, borrow, take, heist, nip, get or make, can I hear you say

Expressing the willingness to do whatever it takes to fulfill desires.


Is it enough? No! Is it enough? No! Is it? No! Is it? No! Is it? No!

Rhetorical repetition emphasizing insatiable desire.

I want more

Explicit declaration of the desire for more.


Yeah that's the way get it, any way I can

Will pursue desires in any way possible, disregarding balance and sensibility.

Not a balanced sensible individual, not that kind of man

Identifying as a non-conventional, not sensible individual.

You careful types with sorted lives won't know what I mean

Critiquing those with ordered lives, highlighting a different lifestyle.

When I speed through life like biblical locusts on a laser beam

Metaphorical depiction of a fast-paced life without deserving it.

Ain't gonna deserve nothing, no I just gotta have

Reiteration of the urgency to fulfill desires without deserving them.

I am a man of much importance to me, I'm a much important man

Self-perceived importance and significance.


Is it enough? No! Is it enough? No! Is it? No! Is it? No! Is it? No!

Repetition underscoring the inadequacy of current possessions.

I want more

Reaffirmation of the persistent desire for more.


More cars! More jewels! More women! More men! More fans!

List of desired items, emphasizing the craving for abundance.

More lawyers! So come on and give me more!

Call for more of everything, including legal representation.

I want more

Final declaration of the insatiable desire for more.
