There's a song that discribes a picture of hopelessness. It says
"I CAN'T find NO Satisfaction." They used negatives word twice and seems to me
that he means that he's happy with everything. But this,obviously, is not
consistant with the theme of the song. Is my understanding wrong? Please
clearify.

double negation is rather common among oral languages, i suspect it is rooted
from black english.
