Lyrics:

(Verse)

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' own the world, I wanna' swallow it whole.

At least I could kick it all down.

I wanna' kick it all down.

(chorus)

Eyes wide open, I can't see.

Eyes wide open, what you mean.

Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be.

(berse)

I don't take the bus, and I never walked too far,

The furthest I got was my own backyard.

A fist full of cash that somebody else earned,

They sent me some more when it all got burned.

I wanna' take control, I wanna' make it all mine.

At least I could kick it all down.

I wanna' kick it all down.

(chorus)

Eyes wide open, I can't see.

Eyes wide open, what you mean.

Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
