Don't Need

[Verse 1] Sitting on a park bench on the D Low Feeling like Clark Kent's alter-ego Throwing out bread smidgens To the eager-to-be-fed pigeons I could loaf around, laugh all day But unless I got another loaf around, they fly away I wish that I could fly too I'd fly to a lake and sit in somebody's canoe I wouldn't care if it were strapped with no oars Cause I'd be in no rush to make it back to the shore I'm not an athletic specimen But I can float with the best of them People tend to act real pushy But you can't put a strain on my brain, it's too mushy I just recline in the sun Stumble through life until my time is done Cause I- [Hook] Don’t need no palace paved with gold Don’t need more cash than banks can hold [Verse 2] You can catch me on a playground swing Back and forth smilin' doing my thing Passers-by often color me dumb But I don't care man, I'm comfortably numb They looking at me real strangely But their perceptions don't change me I bet if I jumped at the right trajectory I'd fly right over them and land in a special seat On the crest of the moon with a fishing pole Cast in the earth in some distant hole Pull up a catfish I wouldn't gut it I would play with it, and love it I'm sorry for the hole that spanned your lip A small price for good old companionship Loneliness is a mountain, a massive climb I'm on the other side, happy, just passing time [Hook]
