I Wanted Everything
I did what I was told
And now I'm getting old
I'm in a black abyss
I thought I could prevail
But I was bound to fail
How did it come to this?
When I was young I should have started a band
I should have stuck around and made a stand
Why did I do what I did when I wanted everything?
Yeah, I wanted everything
I got an office job
And I'm working like a dog
Just to feed my kids
I never get to drink
I never get to think
How did it come to this?
The voices in my head
Say they wish that they were dead
I have no power there
I hate my stupid life
And I hate my awful wife
Cause she went home with him
When I was young I should have started a band
I should have stuck around and made a stand
Why did I do what I did when I wanted everything?
Yeah, I wanted everything
When I was young I should have started a band
I should have stuck around and made a stand
Why did I do what I did when I wanted everything?
Yeah, I wanted everything
I wanted everything
Yeah, I wanted everything
I wanted everything
Oh, I wanted everything
Oh, I wanted everything
Yeah, I wanted everything
And now I'm getting old
I'm in a black abyss
I thought I could prevail
But I was bound to fail
How did it come to this?
When I was young I should have started a band
I should have stuck around and made a stand
Why did I do what I did when I wanted everything?
Yeah, I wanted everything
I got an office job
And I'm working like a dog
Just to feed my kids
I never get to drink
I never get to think
How did it come to this?
The voices in my head
Say they wish that they were dead
I have no power there
I hate my stupid life
And I hate my awful wife
Cause she went home with him
When I was young I should have started a band
I should have stuck around and made a stand
Why did I do what I did when I wanted everything?
Yeah, I wanted everything
When I was young I should have started a band
I should have stuck around and made a stand
Why did I do what I did when I wanted everything?
Yeah, I wanted everything
I wanted everything
Yeah, I wanted everything
I wanted everything
Oh, I wanted everything
Oh, I wanted everything
Yeah, I wanted everything
