Lyrics
When I was young I dreamed a dream
About all the things that I was gonna be
A handsome pop star on the screen
Or captain of the England team
A brave explorer, a hall of courter
Or a really famous astronaut
Well they said "Sonny it could all be yours
You just work hard and pay your dues
Don't be content with what you've got
There's always more that you can want
Everybody's on the make
That's what made this country great"
'Cos all I wanted in the end
Was world domination and a whole lot of money to spend
Everything I touch, everything I see
Fame and fortune, immortality
Well that's not much to ask, it's really not
Not much to ask, just the same as anybody else
So welcome to the free for all
The smash and grab, the free loaders ball
Where everything is here for us
If we scream, shout, make a fuss
There's nothing that you can't afford
With a poisoned tongue and a sharpened sword
Spoiled children in a row
No one dares to tell 'em no!
'Cos all I wanted in the end
Was world domination and a whole lot of money to spend
A little place to call my home
Like a planet that was all my own
Well that's not much to ask, it's really not
Not much to ask, just the same as anybody else
So in every heart there's a broken dream
A shattered cause, a might have been
In every eye there's a secret tear
In every heart there's a secret fear
That this is it, done, complete
Resign yourself to your defeat
The bitterness behind the show
That's where spoiled children go!
