I was sentenced for ten years back in '83

They got me for assault and battery

And the chick the had for witness

I've never seen her face before

I looked into her eyes on the day of the court

The judge must have had a bad night

And my lawyer seemed bored, too

And I shouldn't have had that thing on my record

About using dope in the military

And it runs like wildfire

There's a riot in the block

All you ever wanted in a world without illusions

All you ever wanted

All you ever wanted, you never find it here

I got four more years to go, but tonight may be a chance

Once I'm out there on the road, I could probably leave the state

And with a little luck I could leave the country

The world is still big enough for me

I hear them scream down the hallway

Smell the smoke from the fire

And in an hour or two I'll be free again, I'll be free again

And it runs like wildfire

There's a riot in the block

All you ever wanted in a world without illusions

All you ever wanted

All you ever wanted, you never find it here

I will climb the wall tonight, I'll be free at daybreak

I'll be flying high real soon, the road is open wide

All you ever wanted in a world without illusions

All you ever wanted

All you ever wanted. you never find it here

All you ever wanted in a world without illusions

All you ever wanted

All you ever wanted, you never find it here
