I can never be Anything you want me to I can never be tough, I can never be gangsta I can never be glue I can never be things that I never wanted to be Why's that make sense to only me? I could never be in charge, and do the right thing because diseases would be cured, people would sing But they don't want that, they don't want peace they don't want anything that'll leave them with the least I could never be a musician, popular with teens because everyone would hate me for not wearing jeans Let's hear it for a man who was hated in his time And now you'll play his music...while he's on my dime? I could never be an athlete, because I'd be around too long And whatever I did, it would probably be wrong I could fight with someone, and i'd be called a goon how the hell is that less distracting than a fake moon? I could never be a CEO, patrician like Dobbs Make oodles of money while others lose their jobs inside this muck, I am mired but I'd sure love to tell that bastard Trump "you're fired" I could never be a porn star, tried and true because I'd be forced into scenes with Vanessa Blue And while for others that seems ineffectual I'm into other kinds-specifically, transsexual I could never be a politician, for reasons known get caught fucking a girl and my cover's blown And get back into office, and eventually to the top And die in the middle of a vodka shoppe A meteorologist? Weatherman? Ignored when I'm right but when I'm wrong I'm panned I'll stick to being a guesser, like William Hurt and like a fool, there's a stick in the dirt So there's a lot of things I could never have done Oh, wait, I think there's just one I can't be outside, and I can't be in bed but I can hold my breath til I turn red. :)Birth sign: Aries
