What's on the other side of the wall

Seems like my world has gotten so small Where are the friends who don't ever call

Is there an answer to these questions at all

When will they come and open the door

I can't hold out anymore

I just can't wait to have it all now

Just take it one thing at a time

I want it all now

You'll have to learn to wait in line

I'll get it some way, somehow

I want it all now

All now

I saw somebody get married today

Saw people crying as they drove away

Old ladies laughing and children at play

I ask for love but they don't hear what I say

I want to feel what everyone feels

What will tomorrow reveal

I just can't wait to have it all now

Just take it one thing at a time

I want it all now

You'll have to learn to wait in line

I'll get it some way, somehow

I want it all now

All now

What is it like to kiss a real girl

To think you're in love and get married to her

Have lots of children and grow fat and old

And die like a fish on the end of a pole

Walking down the main street

Looking at the people

Shopping at the marketplace

Standing on the corner

Praying in the temple

Dancing at the disco

Working at the factory

Party on the weekend

I just can't wait to have it all now

I want it all now

I just can't wait to have it all now

Just take it one thing at a time

I want it all now

You'll have to learn to wait in line

I'll get it some way, somehow

I want it all now

All now
