Lyrics
Wanted by Craig Pinkney
Wanted, justified, driven by a need inside
Mother said I was oh so good
I give to charity and go to church sometimes
The coffee shop fucked up my latte
But i didn't lose my cool
If you really want to make my day
photograph me by the pool
Shallow, what do you mean
I sponser starving children and I'm green
I live on the hill I know it's true
But sometimes all this pressure gets me blue
My beamer got a scratch last night
I was at the gallery
I bought a piece of homeless art
And thats what they do to me
My wife's on the committee
Of self righteous bleeding hearts
They all look so pretty
Until the bitchin' starts
My diamonds are conflict free
I taught my boy to trade
I don't wear fur when I ski
I'm very nice to my maid
Wanted I want to be wanted
Wanted, justified
Wanted i want to be wanted.
