Boardwalk Empire is set nearly a century ago, yet feels completely contemporary because we all recognize how living with laws that try to restrict inevitable human desires twists people’s souls.”

Kathy Brier-“After You Get What You Want (You Don’t Want It)”

“After you get what you want, you don’t want it
If I gave you the moon, you’d grow tired of it soon

You’re like a baby
You want what you want when you want it
But after you are presented
With what you want, you’re discontented

You’re always wishing and wanting for something
When you get what you want
You don’t want what you get

And tho’ I sit upon your knee
You’ll grow tired of me
‘Cause after you get what you want
You don’t want what you wanted at all”
