What You Want Songtext / Lyric

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...
