We work our bodies weary to stay alive
There must be more to living than nine to five

Why should we wait for some better time
There may not even be a tomorrow
Ain't no sense in losing your mind
I'm gonna make it worth the ride

Don't you know, I won't give up until I'm satisfied
Don't you know, why should I stop until I'm satisfied

Ignore the hesitation, that ties your hands
Use your imagination, and take a chance

I won't let my moment of truth pass me by
I've gotta make my move now or never
And if they turn me loose on this town
They're gonna have to hold me down

Don't you know, I won't give up until I'm satisfied
Don't you know, why should I stop until I'm satisfied Yeah

Oh, don't you know, ain't gonna stop until we're satisfied
Don't you know, we shouldn't stop until we're satisfied

Don't you know, ain't gonna stop until I'm satisfied
Don't you know, we won't give up until we're satisfied
