The World That I Wanted

	he's the kind of guy that was always afraid of affection
	and when the walls closed around
	he would always respond with aggression
	but he woke up today with a pain in his head
	remembered a dream oh what was it they said
	oh, this was the world that i wanted
	hey oh, this was the world that i wanted
	many years ago he was hungry for fathers attention
	but dad was alone his disease unspoken unmentioned
	so the boy grew tall with these things around his head
	and when he asked moms advice she silently said
	oh, your father got all that he wanted
	hey oh, your father got all that he wanted
	he steps onto the porch with a cigarette and a briefcase
	and remembering dad he prepares to argue his case
	old woman he says you should have left long ago
	your friends are all dead its not worth it you know
	and she smiles, you know this was the life that i wanted
	and she smiles, you know this was the life that i wanted
	he never thought that he'd cry
	when his father was finally laid down
	never thought that he'd cry
	when his friends were all gathered around
	but he watched as the old man lay down in the earth
	and he looked all around for a sign of his worth
	then he cried, whoa daddy what was it you wanted
	then he cried, whoa daddy what was it you wanted
