I don't like antiques, I want something new The world don't like no freaks coming in their rooms But this beggar's got a right to choose I'm not a stranger, I'm just like you I need love, I don't money After all these years baby I'm still running Whose gonna say a want is not a need? I get looks that get so dirty After all these years baby it's still hurting Whose gonna say a want is not a need Just want my piece of the American pie Got your slice, where is mine Lick my fingers on this thing called life Just a piece of the American pie Break the chains of old beliefs I'm the flame that you can't unsee I don't like antiques, I want something new Got my dignity, gonna live my truth Like the southern smile I just can't lose Let my light sweep, across the room You may laugh but it's not funny That's the thing that keeps me coming Whose gonna say a want is not a need All those looks that get so dirty Lets me know that they're still learning Whose gonna say a want is not a need Just want my piece of the American pie Got your slice, where is mine Lick my fingers on this thing called life Just a piece of the American pie Break the chains of old beliefs I'm the flame that you can't unsee Whoa Whoa Just want my piece of the American pie Got your slice, where is mine Lick my fingers on this thing called life Just a piece of the American pie Break the chains of old beliefs I'm the flame that you can't unsee Whoa Whoa Want my peace got your peace Want my peace
