I WANT IT ALL
By:Queen
[Intro]
want it all, I want it all, I want it all
And I want it now
[Verse 1]
Adventure seeker on an empty street,
Just an alley creeper, light on his feet
A young fighter screaming, with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger can't see a way out
It isn't much I'm asking, I heard him say
Got to find me a future move out of my way
[Chorus]
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now
[Verse 2]
Listen all you people, come gather round
I got to get me a game plan, got to shake you to the ground
Just give me what I know is mine
People do you hear me, just give me the sign
It isn't much I'm asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the future for the dreams of youth
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I'm a man with a one track mind
So much to do in one life time (people do you hear me)
Not a man for compromise and where's and why's and living lies
So I'm living it all, yes I'm living it all
And I'm giving it all, and I'm giving it all
It ain't much I'm
asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the future, hear the cry of youth
[Chorus]
[Outro]
I want it, I want it!
want it all, I want it all, I want it all
And I want it now
[Verse 1]
Adventure seeker on an empty street,
Just an alley creeper, light on his feet
A young fighter screaming, with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger can't see a way out
It isn't much I'm asking, I heard him say
Got to find me a future move out of my way
[Chorus]
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now
[Verse 2]
Listen all you people, come gather round
I got to get me a game plan, got to shake you to the ground
Just give me what I know is mine
People do you hear me, just give me the sign
It isn't much I'm asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the future for the dreams of youth
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I'm a man with a one track mind
So much to do in one life time (people do you hear me)
Not a man for compromise and where's and why's and living lies
So I'm living it all, yes I'm living it all
And I'm giving it all, and I'm giving it all
It ain't much I'm
asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the future, hear the cry of youth
[Chorus]
[Outro]
I want it, I want it!
ANALYSIS
This song has the theme greed is evil in it because this guy talks about he wants everything now and he doesn't want to wait no matter what. To me that sounds like a brat because he is being greedy and not sharing anything and he doesn't care what happens until he gets his stuff. For example in the song it says " I want it, I want it!" to that means that he wants everything. Another quote that proves this is the theme is "I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now" this quotes means that he will do anything to get what he wants and he doesn't want to wait. then finally the last quote that proves this theme is the quote " Just give me what I know is mine" to me this means that he thinks that everything is his and he doesn't want to share which makes him seem greedy.
