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 -
whatcha gonna learn in school
There's gotta be some way out of here
He says: Man, this life is cruel

I knew 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
She 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 want)
Tell me what you need (Tell me what you need)
I want everything (I want it all)

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

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 casualty
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 want)
Tell me what you need (Tell me what you need)
I want everything (I want it all)

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
I want it all

Tell me what you want (Tell me what you want)
Tell me what you need (Wont you call me, tell me just what you need)
Tell me what you want (Tell me what you want)
I want everything (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, well I want it all
I want it, I want it, I want it
