Lyrics

MASTER THE WORLD

I WANT TO MAKE A SIX STRING
SING LIKE A BIRD
I WANT TO MAKE SHAKESPEARE AND DICKINSON AND POE
ENVIOUS OF MY WORDS
I WANT TO LEARN TO PLAY THE IVORIES
GIVE RAY CHARLES CHILLS
AND LIKE AMELIA EARHART
I WANT TO SOAR ABOVE THE HILLS

AND I WANT TO MASTER THE WORLD
I WANT TO OPEN MY EYES AND FREE MY MIND
AND I WANT TO MASTER THE WORLD
SO IN THE END, WHEN IT’S MY TIME,
NO QUESTIONS IN MY LIFE

I WANT TO TRAVEL TO DISTANT PLACES
AND SEE ANCIENT THINGS
I WANT TO CLIMB MOUNTAINS  
AND I WANT TO EXPLORE THE SEVEN SEAS
I WANT TO STUDY POLITICS, ARITHMETIC, SCIENCE AND LIFE AND EVERYTHING

AND I WANT TO MASTER THE WORLD
I WANT TO OPEN MY EYES AND FREE MY MIND
AND I WANT TO MASTER THE WORLD
SO IN THE END, WHEN IT’S MY TIME,
NO QUESTIONS IN MY LIFE


AND I WANT TO MASTER THE WORLD
I WANT TO OPEN MY EYES AND FREE MY MIND
AND I WANT TO MASTER THE WORLD
SO IN THE END, WHEN IT’S MY TIME
AND I'M CALLED TO THAT GREAT GIG IN THE SKY
IN THE END, WHEN IT’S MY TIME
NO QUESTIONS IN MY LIFE
