Once there was a man who decided he knew everything

Once there was a book that he threw in my face

Once there was an angry mob that marched

Up and down the street

Don't ya know they all called my name

What do they want from me?



CHORUS

What do they want from me?

What do they want from me?

What do they want from a poor boy who

Can't believe

They want to fill the void

They want to fill the empty spaces

But I won't let them consume me

With the rest of the lifeless faces



Once there was a little girl

who thought that she was a queen

And she thought the world was a playground

filled with sand

So with all her friends she created a fantasy

They all come to me with their demands

What do they want from me?



CHORUS



Every little thing is a piece of a larger thing

Every little fish is a tyrant of the sea

Every little atom is a master of his family

Every single piece calls my name

What do they want from me?



CHORUS
