Desperate

If you want to get an "A" then you gotta be schoolish
If you want to know wisdom better begin by being foolish
If you want be the boss well then bossy's what you better be
If you want to take it easy then loosen your grip
If you want to make a getaway give them the slip
If you want to keep it simple start living in the key of C

But if you want to write a song
Because you’re baby ain’t there
Or let the whole world know
That you're a fool to care
Then you gotta be desperate
Better be desperate
Desperate, it's best to be desperate

If you want to be well then you better get better
If you want to be free then unfasten your fetter
If you want to be treated kindly then you better be kind
If you want to get to heaven then you better be saintly
Because they'll never let you in friend saintly you ain'tly
But if it's hell you want to visit there’s a special little place in your mind

But if you want to write a song
Because you’re baby ain’t therecf
Or let the whole world know
That you're a fool to care
Then you gotta be desperate
Better be desperate
Desperate, it's best to be desperate
