13.All I Want Is Everything
Some 15 year old kid sits on his porch, it's half-past noon
Trying to figure out just what he's doing
Why he had to grow up so soon
With all the gangs, all the guns - what ya gonna learn in school
There's got to be some way out of here
He says: Man, this life is cruel
I used to know this Puerto Rican girl who lied to change her
life
She changed her name, her face because the grass looked greener
on the other side
Turned her back, she ran away straight into the night
Her friends, her family feel the pain, but she's the one who
cries
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I want everything
I've had enough of havin' nothing, I won't take just anything
I got my mind set on something, all I want is everything
It's my life Mr. - I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a string
I want more than I see coming
All I want is everything
All I want is everything
Say a prayer for Donnie, he died in his room just the other day
His brother came home, found him dead on the floor with a needle
in his vein
The cops came down with a body bag, they said Donnie's a
casulaty
I said, All it's about is the boy checked out, he couldn't
handle reality
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I want everything
Had enough of havin' nothing, I won't take just anything
I got my mind set on something, all I want is everything
It's my life Mr. - I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a string
I want more than I see coming
All I want is everything
All I want is everything
Well I want it all
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Tell me what you want
I want everything
Had enough of havin' nothing, I won't take just anything
I got my mind set on something, all I want is everything
Well it's my life Mr. - I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a
string
I want more than I see coming
All I want is everything
All I want is everything
All I want is everything
All I want
Well I want it all
I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it ...
