I Want It All
Turbonegro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know I want it all
Lion machines putting on the green
Bring all that you can bring
Beat the machine, boy
You know I want it all

Too much genetic debris
Stealing air from me
The sons of the mastes are the eternal slaves, boy
You know I want it all

So come on
Bring it on
Everything
'Cause I want it all, I want it all
You know I want it all

I heard that some like it hot
And some don't like it too hot
So show me what ou got, I wanna see it, baby
You know I want it all

So come on
Bring it on
Everything
'Cause I want it all, I want it all
You know I want it all

Let's hear it for the boy

I wanna check it out
I wanna hear it shout
While I still got a shot
Show me before it rots, baby
You know I want it all

So come on
Bring it on
Everything
'Cause I want it all, I want it all
You know I want it all
You know I want it all
You know I want it all
I want the gash




I want the cash
I want everything
