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 f**in 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:]
