Mezz

I wanna be the worlds best lover

I wanna be on every cover

I wanna be the flying man in the Cirque du Soliel

But I'm me, and that's all I'll ever be

I wanna be like Serpico, or a freedom fighter

Down in Mexico, a black man in the fifties south,

See what fake white freedom was all about

I wanna `recon' in vietnam, shoot a ball like

Gary Payton, I wanna talk to Jesus Christ,

a-bomb the extreme right

But i'm me, and that's all I'll ever be.

And I see there are some things I don't need

(chorus)

If it was up to me, I'd be those things and

So much more

If it was me, I'd talk to God and kick

down every door

I really wanna save the planet, end all wars

and destructive habits, I wanna raise hell

with the c.d.c, see if all is being done about

that fuckin disease, I wanna be like Randy

Johnson, play guitar like Mick Ronson, wanna

set my sights on art collections, give

homeless people a new direction

but I'm me, and that's all I'll ever be

and I see, there's some things I don't need.

(chorus)

Solo

If it was up to me

I'd break down

Let the poor have it all

ban all war, if you please and end disease

(chorus)
