Great Thing, lyric by Echobelly

from the songs album On

I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what life is,
I wanna know everything,
I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what love is,
Is it something i do to myself.

All is fair in love and war,
Or so they say and so the saying goes,
But i've seen more broken hearts,
Than you can count the bullets in a war,
Oh what do i know,
There's gotta be so much i don't know.

I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what life is,
I wanna try everything,
I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what love is,
Is it something i do to myself,
Something i do to myself.

What is life apart from memories or
Dreams and friendships we have known
And it smells childhood tales
Contemplating clothes that you have worn
Oh what do i know
There's gotta be so much i don't know

I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what life is,
Is it something i do to myself,
Something i do to myself.

Never wanted many things,
Except the chance to learn,
From my mistakes
Funny how you never learn,
But know them when they,
Come around again,
Oh what do i know,
There's gotta be so much i don't know.

I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what life is,
I wanna try everything,
I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what love is,
Is it something i do to myself,
Something i do to myself,
Something you do to yourself.
