I Want It All
By: Queen
I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now
Adventure seeker on an empty street
Just an alley creeper light on his feet
young fighters screaming with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger can't see a way out
It ain't much I'm asking I heard him say
Gotta find me a future move out of my way
I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now
I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now
Listen all you people come gather round
I gotta get me a new game plan gotta shake you to the ground
Just give me what I know is mine
People do you hear me just give me the sign
It ain't much I'm asking if you want the truth
Here's to the future for the dreams of youth
I want it all (give it all) I want it all I want it all and I want
it now
I want it all (yes I want it all) I want it all (hey)
I want it all and I want it now
I'm a man with a one track mind
So much to do in one life time (Do you hear me people?)
Not a man for compromise and where's and why's and living
lies
So I'm living it all (yes I'm living it all)
And I'm giving it all (and I'm giving it all)
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I want it all all all all
It ain't much I'm asking if you want the truth
Here's to the future
Hear the cry of youth (hear the cry hear the cry of youth)
I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now
I want it all (yeah yeah yeah) I want it all I want it all and I
want it now
I want it
Now
I want it I want it NOW
The song "I Want It All" by Queen relates to the topic ambition and also to the character Julius Caesar. In the first verse "Adventure seeker on an empty street. Just an alley creeper light on his feet, young fighters screaming with no time for doubt. With the pain and anger can't see a way out. It ain't much I'm asking I heard him say. Gotta find me a future move out of my way" The artist is saying in the last verse that no one is going to stop him from achieving his dreams much like Caesar. Caesar ignored the warning about the Ides of March nothing was going to stop him from being the great ruler. "Listen all you people come gather round I gotta get me a new game plan gotta shake you to the ground Just give me what I know is mine People do you hear me just give me the sign It ain't much I'm asking if you want the truth." Here he is gathering the people to listen to his goals in life and what he plans to do. He wants them to give him the "sign" In Julius Caesar the citizens gather around Caesar and worship him. They forgot about the great leader Pompey and began following Caesar. And this upset Cassius and the conspirators. Because of Caesar's ambition they had to kill him.
Also in this song the chorus repeats "I want it all I want it now" Caesar's ambition made him want to get to the top and rule all over Rome. He was very smart about it. For example when Antony offered him the crown Caesar refused it three times. So he could win over the people's trust . "So I'm living it all" I believe Caesar was living his dream in being the ruler over Rome. So not only is this a great song from Queen it relates to Caesar and to his ambition.

That was a great example of ambition and really applies to the play.
