One Concern Lyrics by Shelter

Attaining The Supreme

1993

Well I don't want wealth, what can it buy?
What can I purchase that'll satisfy?
"You want success, well you better invest"
But there's still distress, don't buy their lie
Money in the bank think you're scot free
More anxiety, false security. Desire to accumulate, it'll never satiate. Another fish takes the bait, You know it's not the answer
My one concern is not own land or sky or ocean
Or get up on some stage and go through some motions
I want this iron heart of mine to soften with some emotion
My one concern: to manifest devotion
I'm not looking for a game that call romance
I've been in that trance and it's all skin deep
But yes I want love that's what I'm dreaming of
I know it's there but it ain't that cheap
Don't want skin attraction, promising satisfaction
Big distraction from what I really need
Scratch the itch, watch desire increase
Where is the peace? You know it's not the answer
My one concern is not own land or sky or ocean
Or get up on some stage and go through some motions
I want this iron heart of mine to soften with some emotion
My one concern: to manifest devotion
Don't want pats on the back
Shows and powerful fans, already think I'm bigger than I really am. I've experienced fame, it's a trip on the brain
And it made me insane, I'm just a tiny man
People pound the pavement they want to make it big
Big star, big band, or the perfect gig
Cut through the illusions
Hype is just confusion
You know the conclusion
You know it's not the answer
