I'm a fortunate son of a fortunate son Living large on the wrong side of town Too many friends and the fun never ends Drinkin' and hangin' around I wanna rule the world wanna swallow it whole At least I could kick it all down I wanna kick it all down Eyes wide open I can't see Eyes wide open what you mean Eyes wide open I can't seem to be My eyes wide open I can't see Eyes wide open what you mean Eyes wide open I can't seem to be I don't take the bus and I never walk too far The furthest I got was my own backyard With a fist full of cash that somebody else earned Send me some more when it all got burned I wanna take control wanna make it all mine At least I could kick it all down I wanna' kick it all down Eyes wide open I can't see Eyes wide open what you mean Eyes wide open I can't seem to be My eyes wide open I can't see Eyes wide open what you mean Eyes wide open I can't seem to be You never ever know You never ever know You never ever know You never ever know I'll get what I want if I make up my mind I'm turnin' you inside out I wanna rule the world wanna swallow it whole I think I'll just kick it all down I wanna kick it all down Eyes wide open I can't see Eyes wide open what you mean Eyes wide open I can't seem to be My eyes wide open I can't see Eyes wide open what you mean Eyes wide open I can't seem to be Eyes wide open Eyes wide open Eyes wide open
