Oingo Boingo

Who Do You Want to Be

Who do you want to be today?

Who do you want to be?

Who do you want to be today?

Do you want to be just like someone on TV?

Oh boredom is so terrible, it's like a dread disease

Nothing could be worse than when there's nothing on TV

I'd rather be a cowboy than to stare blank at the walls

I've been reborn so many times, I can't remember them all

Who do you want to be today?

Who do you want to be?

Who do you want to be today?

Do you want to be just like someone on TV?

Just like someone on TV

I think I'll be a teddy boy, I think I'll be a hunk

I think I'll be a tough guy and I think I'll be a punk

I might just be a fashion star all dressed in frilly rags

Or perhaps, I'll cross the other side and walk around in drag!

Who do you want to be today?

Who do you want to be?

Who do you want to be today?

Do you want to be just like someone on TV?

Just like somebody on TV

Do you like to be just like a rock

In the middle of the sea

Do you want to suffer by yourself

In a pool of blissful misery

Do you want to feel like a saint in artists' clothes

With a rosary in your hand

Do you wanna be crazy like Van Gogh

Like a stranger in a strange, strange land

Would you rather push the buttons

And be feared by all humanity

Or perhaps you'd like to be a bum

Do you wanna be stupid, just like me

Who do you want to be today?

Who do you want to be?

Who do you want to be today?

Do you want to be just like someone on TV?

Just like somebody on TV

Who do you want to be today?

Who do you want to be today?

Who do you want to be today?

Who do you want to be today?

Who do you want to be today?

Who do you want to be?

Who do you want to be today?

Who do you want to be?
