In a new place, in a strange land An undone new world, not a part of the plan Hatred and fear is the language I know Out of my home, out of control Everything that I want, isn't it everything that you've got? Everything that I want, isn't it everything that you've got? How much more do you think I can take? I yield to your smile, a victims mistake I don't want your life, Ive got my own needs A life of my own, a chance to be free Everything that I want, isn't it everything that you've got? Everything that I want, isn't it everything that you've got? Everything that I want, isn't it everything that you've got? Everything that I want, isn't it everything that you've got? Everything that I want, isn't it everything that you've got? Everything that I want, isn't it everything that you've got?
