The Life: A Piece of the Action

I want a piece of the action
 I want a slice of the pie
 I wanna get on the fast tract
 And kiss all of this goodbye
 It's time to follow in the antiques
 It's time for raising the stakes
 I've got the looks and the talents
 And I've got whatever it takes
 I did my beat in the army
 I took a bullet in the head
 When I got back to Savannah
 And nobody give a damn
 I got to find me a good job
 I will want a two pair of shoes
 I ain't ten thousand watt ads
 Yes, I really paid, oh God, I've paid my dues
 But I feel it coming, I feel it coming this time
 And no one can stop it, no one can stop it now
 Yes, I feel it coming, I feel it coming this time
 And all the stupid tricks can go take a walk
 And I've got dreams as big as New York
 ♪
 I started out in the gutter
 I made it up through the street
 I got my eye on pent house
 A need that little penthouse, me
 I'm gonna go for the glory
 I'm gonna shoot for the moon
 I want a piece of the action
 And I'm gonna get it, I'm gonna get it soon
 Yes, I'm gonna get it, I'm gonna get it soon
