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 ain't much I'm asking, I heard him say
Gotta find me a future move out of my way
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

Listen all you people, come gather round
I gotta get me a game plan, gotta shake you to the ground
But just give me, huh, what I know is mine
People do you hear me, just gimme the sign
It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the future for the dreams of youth

I want it all (give it all - I want it all)
I want it all (yeah)
I want it all and I want it now

I want it all (yes I want it all)
I want it all hey
I want it all and I want it now

I'm a man with a one track mind
So much to do in one lifetime (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
Oooh oh yeah yeah - ha ha ha ha ha
Yeah yeah yeah yeaaah
I want it all

It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the future
Hear the cry of youth (hear the cry of youth) (hear the cry of youth)
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all and I want it now

I want it all yeah yeah yeaaaah
I want it all, I want it all and I want it now
Oh oh oh oh oooh

And I want it - now
I want it, I want it
Ooooh ha

    General Comment:I agree that it's about the ideals people have, but I dont neccessarly agree that only young people have such dreams. I am in the first years of my 20-ies and I dont think my spirit will change. It's all about stying true to yourself.

    General Comment:Queen is one of the most incredible bands of all time.
    If Freddie hadn't died, they would still be just as popular today because there is no denying their talent.

    General Comment:The song was written by Brian May. It's often used in political campaigns and protests, probably most memorably the anti-apartheid protests in South Africa and Nelson Mandela achieving freedom and himself becoming the 1st ever black South African president. May says he wrote it on the basis of having ambitions in life and trying to achieve your goals. Awesome song.
