NOTE: JB only sings some of the lyrics to "Satisfied"
This is the complete version by Van Morrison
Let's go walking up that mountainside
Look down in the valley down below
And we survey this wondrous scene
Wait a minute
Hold that dream
Hold that dream
Don't want to change my name and write a book
Just like *Catcher in the Rye*
Settle down in a shady nook
Talkin' to my baby now
I'm satisfied
With my world
'Cause I made it
The way it is
Satisfied (satisfied)
Inside
Go to the mountain
Come back to the city
Where a whole lot of things
Don't look very pretty
Spiritual hunger and spiritual thirst
But you got to change it
On the inside first
To be satisfied
To be satisfied
Sometimes I think I know where it's at
Other times I'm completely in the dark
You know, baby, a little cause and effect
I got my karma from right here to New York
I'm satisfied
With my world
'Cause I made it
The way it is
Satisfied (satisfied)
Inside
Sometimes I think I know how it is
Other times I'm completely in the dark
You know, baby, a little cause and effect
I got my karma from right here to New York
I'm satisfied
With my world
'Cause I made it
The way it is
I'm satisfied (satisfied)
Inside

VARIATIONS:
A typical JB rap of "Satisfied":
"Go up to the mountain,
Back to the city
There's a whole lot of things there
That don't look very pretty
Spiritual hunger
Spiritual thirst
You got to change it on the inside first
To be satisfied (satisfied)
I'm satisfied (satisfied)
With my world
'Cause I made it
The way it is
Sometimes I think I know
Where it's at
Other times I'm completely
In the dark
You know baby
A little cause and effect
I got my karma from right here to New York
I'm satisfied (satisfied)
Satisfied (satisfied)"
