Going through a world of sad debris,
Regard quixotic reveries of ownership:
The blossoming disease of man called tenure and accretion,
The ancient western treadmill of deception and derision.
But I want something more.

Racing through a life of tragic wastage,
I experience the loss of trust and innocence.
The billowing cyclone of time has blown away our reasons
As we trudge like blind men forward trying to avoid collision.
But I want something...
More.

This is one of my favorite BR songs. It is rather to the point and doesn't need much interpretation, but I find it amazing that Brett encapsulated such a heavy theme into such a short song. Superb lyrics from an album full of superb lyrics.
