What You Want

I picture life as a single pulse
 That beats for me and time itself
 And realise all I do
 Touches me and affects you
 Is now affecting you...
 Listen to me speak
 The things I don't say are the words to keep
 A mantra to repeat
 And break out from these primal places...
 You've got to get what you want
 And take what you ask for
 You've got to get what you want
 And take what you need
 You've got to get what you want
 And know what your life's for
 You've got to get what you want
 And let yourself leave...
 You walk alone on a tightrope here
 But every childhood ends in fear...
 And deep inside the thought remains
 Maybe all things stay the same
 They always stay the same...
 There's no compromise
 No one else can recreate your life
 Leave the old behind
 And walk into your new invention...
 You've got to get what you want
 And take what you ask for
 You've got to get what you want
 And take what you need
 You've got to get what you want
 And know what your life's for
 You've got to get what you want
 And let yourself leave...
 Every child has got to break the chain
 Stand your ground
 But let the bond remain
 Take the good and leave the pain
 And let the bond remain...
 There's no great escape
 Revolution comes
 Before you change direction...
 You've got to get what you want
 And take what you ask for
 You've got to get what you want
 And take what you need
 You've got to get what you want
 And know what your life's for
 You've got to get what you want
 And let yourself leave...
