We Want Everything

I heard that you did it

And I can't believe my ears

Though now I can see it coming

As I look back through the years

You can smell the roses with the best of 'em brother

But your soul could never flower

And desperation got a hold on you

And it stole away your power

I don't know why you done this thing

To me, it makes no sense

But sometimes our dreams just won't let us live

And we die in self-defense

Ooh, we want everything

Some of us try for it

Ooh, we want everything

Some of us die for it

So now that you've done it

Do you feel better over there?

Do the angels have respect for you?

Does lady luck treat you fair?

And back down here we scratch our heads

Through the tears, we're all a mess

How you could make a choice like that, is just anybody's guess

Ooh, we want everything

Some of us try for it

Ooh, we want everything

Some of us die for it

And did your head, then heart get so spun out?

You couldn't stop to think

Were you just so sick, your mind went click

When you were hovered on the brink?

Where we go from here, man, no one really knows

But we deserve better than this from you

Down to the bitter-end I said I'd be your friend, but now there's nothing I can do

Ooh, we want everything

Some of us try for it

We want everything

Some of us die for it

We want everything

Some of us try for it

We want everything

Some of us die for it
