In an imaginary world every boy and every girl
They'd all get the same things, they'd all get the same things
A little dough, a lot of love, with a mom and dad to hug
They'd all get the same things, yeah

But now the world is real, and it don't matter how you feel
'Cause we don't get the same things, we don't get the same things
You gotta work to stay alive, forty hours from 9 to 5
We don't get the same things, no

But all my gangster friends, and all my skater friends
We all want the same thing
I'm saying we all want the same thing
DJ's in the clubs, Jesus freaks and thugs
We all want the same thing, yeah

And, I think about the way all the politicians say
They say they wanna change things
You know they say they wanna change things
But every year, they take some more and I don't know what it's for
You know they never change things

But, if you want to make it stop, oh, first, you got to start
Making some big, old changes, doing some different things, yeah
Get up out your bed, you better think outside your head
And, you won't get the same things, no

But all my gangster friends, and all my skater friends
We all want the same thing
I'm saying we all want the same thing
DJ's in the clubs, Jesus freaks, and thugs
We all want the same thing, yeah

All my ex-girlfriends, and all their new boyfriends
They all want the same thing
I'm saying, they all want the same thing
From Wall Street to the hood, New York and Hollywood
We all want the same thing

This is a message to remind you
There's just one who coast love

But all my gangster friends, and all my skater friends
We all want the same thing
I'm saying we all want the same thing
DJ's in the clubs, Jesus freaks, and thugs
We all want the same thing, yeah

All my ex-girlfriends, and all their new boyfriends
They all want the same thing
I'm saying, they all want the same thing
From Wall Street to the hood, New York and Hollywood
We all want the same thing, yeah
We all want the same thing
We all want the same thing
