My soul doesn't need a new president
It needs a new resident
My soul doesn't need a new stimulus package
I just need someone to clean up all this wreckage
My soul doesn't need another empty promise
From some senator, written by a lobbyist
My soul doesn't trust your system
That always talks, never listens
My soul knows the meaning of red, white, and blue
I bleed red, I need white, I see blue
My soul needs you, my soul needs you
My soul doesn't need your MTV
Why must you continually assault me?
My soul doesn't need another empty dream
Of happiness is supposed to be
My soul could do without this poverty, this gluttony
Oh it's mercury to my soul
My soul doesn't need a white picket fence
Or an ear full of greedy sentiments
My soul needs you, my soul needs you
My soul doesn't need to go green
Everything I've seen is black underneath
My soul doesn't need another joint
My soul needs to know what is the point?
My soul doesn't need another holiday
But a place to hideaway everyday
My soul doesn't need another book
Telling me I'll never be good enough
My soul doesn't need another war
I just need to know of one thing worth fighting for
My soul doesn't need another empty conversation
My soul longs for a new creation
My soul doesn't need another hug, or a kiss
But rather what is the reason that I exist?
My soul needs you, my soul needs you
My soul doesn't need the American dream
Everything I've seen is falling apart at the seems
My soul doesn't need a walk in the park
My soul needs someone to light up the dark
My soul doesn't need another sermon
My soul needs to know that you see me here hurting
My soul doesn't need to be tamed
The world did that, and they left me maimed
My soul needs you, my soul needs you
