The lyrics. The end of this is priceless.

What do you want from life?
To kidnap an heiress or threaten her with a knife?
What do you want from life?
To get cable TV and watch it every night?

There you sit, a
Lump in your chair
Where do you sleep and
What do you wear when you're sleeping?

What do you want from life?
An Indian guru to show you the inner light?
What do you want from life?
A meaningless love affair with a girl that you met tonight?

How can you tell when you're doin' alright?
Does your bank account swell while you're dreaming at night?
How do know when you're really in love?
Do violins play when you're touching the one that you're loving?
Hey!

What do you want from life? (What do you want from life?)
Someone to love and somebody that you can trust?
What do you want from life? (What do you want from life?)
To try and be happy while you do the nasty things you must

What do you want from life?
What do you want from life?
What do you want from life?
What do you want from life?
(What do you want from life?)

Well, you can't have that, but if you're an American citizen
You are entitled to a heated kidney shaped pool
A microwave oven, don't watch the food cook
A DynaGym, I'll personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home
A kingsize Titanic unsinkable Molly Brown waterbed with polybendum
A foolproof plan and an airtight alibi, real simulated Indian jewelry

A Gucci shoetree, a year's supply of antibiotics
A personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth
And Bob Dylan's new unlisted phone number
A beautifully restored Third Reich swizzle stick, Rosemary's baby
A dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams
A new Matador, a new Mastodon

A Maverick, a Mustang
A Montego, a Merc Montclair
A Mark IV, a Meteor
A Mercedes, an MG or a Malibu
A Mort Moriarty, a Maserati
A Mac truck, a Mazda
A new Monza or a moped
A Winnebago, hell, a herd of Winnebago's, we're givin' 'em away

Or how about a McCulloch chainsaw?
A Las Vegas wedding, a Mexican divorce
A solid gold Kama Sutra coffee pot
Or a baby's arm holding an apple?

I still love their live double album, for about 40+ years…

That is not the song from the original album. But I did see them live on Halloween in 1975, and they rocked the stage.

This was in heavy rotation during my early 80s high school days!

How could you not like "A baby's arm holding an apple."?

This is classic RP to me- a mid 70s track that I should have heard before, me hitting the 8 rating button nearly immediately strictly so I know I'll at least hear it again in "My Paradise". 

Long Live RP and 50+ year old songs I've never heard before that I enjoy want to hear again in less than 50 years!!

I saw them when I was at Cal Poly in the late '70's, the energy was awesome and they were so damn loud - we loved it!

This wild & crazy group was so fun to hear and watch back in the day! Fee Waybill is such a clever hoot!

Hi R.P. Great to hear the 'Tubes' saw them in the seventies.

Great addition William & company! Old classic that slipped my mind. "Or a Baby's Arm holding an Apple"

I recall a different version for some reason. 

Really?  This is new to the rotation...  Great addition, good memories.
