You Want It All

You want it all

You want it fast

You want the things

That never last

You can't sit still

You won't stand up

You drink it down

And throw it up

Your eyes are hungry

Mouth is dry

You have no tears

For those who cry

You run for office

Run for your life

You cut your losses

With a bloody knife

You make your deals

You make your money

You soak your words

In bitter honey

Your car is fast

Your gait is slow

You never reap

The things you sow

You have no time

You have no fears

You can't account

For all your years

What you can't buy

You try to take

Those you can't bend

You try to break

Your silver bracelets

And golden chains

Were hammered from

Another's pain

You have it all

It's in your hand

Your grip is firm

On grains of sand

You have a chance

To get some more

You suck your fingers

And lick the floor

Your shiny medals

And flashy rings

Are substitutes

For other things

You make the laws

You set the rules

You climb the backs

Of willing fools

You have it all

But it won't last

The end is near

And coming fast
