Fill The Void Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

Once there was a man who decided he knew everything 

Once there was a book that he threw in my face 

Once there was an angry mob that marched, up and down the street 

Don't ya know they all called my name 

What do they want from me? 

What do they want from me? 

What do they want from me? 

What do they want from a poor boy who can't believe 

They want to fill the void 

They want to fill the empty spaces 

But I won't let them consume me 

With the rest of the lifeless faces 

Once there was a little girl who thought that she was a queen 

And she thought the world was a playground filled with sand 

So with all her friends she created a fantasy 

They all come to me with their demands 

What do they want from me? 

What do they want from me? 

What do they want from me? 

What do they want from a poor boy who can't believe 

They want to fill the void 

They want to fill the empty spaces 

But I won't let them consume me 

With the rest of the lifeless faces 

Every little thing is a piece of a larger thing 

Every little fish is a tyrant of the sea 

Every little atom is a master of his family 

Every single piece calls my name 

What do they want from me? 

What do they want from me? 

What do they want from me? 

What do they want from a poor boy who can't believe 

They want to fill the void 

They want to fill the empty spaces 

But I won't let them consume me 

With the rest of the lifeless faces
