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       If it was up to me, I'd be those things    And so much more   If it was up to 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      If it was up to me, I'd be those things    And so much more   If it was up to me, I'd talk to God    And kick down every door      If it was up to me   I'd break down everyone   Let the poor have it all   Ban all war, if you please   And end disease      If it was up to me, I'd be those things    And so much more   If it was up to me, I'd talk to God    And kick down every door      If it was up to me   If it was up to me   If it was up to me   If it was up to me
