I'm in control, I got a bulletproof soul   And I'm full of self-esteem   I invented myself with no one's help   I'm a prototype supreme      I sit upon my private throne   And run my lifestyle all alone   Me, myself and I agree   We don't need nobody else      I never learned to bow, bend or crawl   To any known authority   I really wanna build my statue tall   That's all      I'm just trying to be God   I only wanna be God   I just wanna be God   Why can't I be God?      I got no time to take advice   I want to gamble with my eternity with loaded dice   I don't need a preacher in my face   When I'm the omnipresent ruler of the human race      Ain't gonna spend my life being no one's fool   I was born to rock and I was born to rule   But if I'm wrong on Judgment Day   I'm royally screwed with hell to pay      I never learned to bow, bend or crawl   To any known authority   I really wanna build my statue tall   That's all      I'm just trying to be God   I only wanna be God   I just wanna be God   Why can't I be God?      I'm just trying to be God   I only wanna be God   I just wanna be God   Why can't I be God?      I'm just trying to be God   I only wanna be God   I just wanna be God   Why can't I be God?      I'm just trying to be God   I only wanna be God   I just wanna be God   Why can't I be God?
