Everybody wants

from Unlucky For Some by Jim Pearson

lyrics

Everybody wants

Everybody wants to drive a motorcar
Even if the destination isn’t very far
We’re concerned for the environment
When it isn’t inconvenient
Everybody wants to drive a motorcar

Everybody wants to raise a happy home
On a piece of land that we can call our own
With barbed wire and electric fence
Because self-defence is common sense
Everybody wants to raise a happy home

By now you should have figured out somehow
If you think this life is just a test
Don’t save yourself and damn the rest

Everybody wants a good old-fashioned war
Then at least we’d know what we are fighting for
Freedom and security but they don’t mean the same to me
Everybody wants to drive a motorcar
But is that worth dying for?

"You never can be sure what kind of project Jim will come up with next, but you can always be sure it's gonna be pretty darn good." Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music.

Jim's songs range from the whimsical to some of the most bitter and somber themes, yet always with a paradoxical childlike spirit that meets them head-on – wide-eyed and full of hopeful energy.
