I′m a fortunate son of a fortunate son
Livin′ 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
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

Never ever ever
Never ever ever
Never ever ever
Never ever ever

I 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
