Hey, just when you think you are the shit   Well, you look down and your fly is unzipped   That's when you take a moment to say   "Well, sometimes I'm so, so totally unhip"      Just when the great ones inspire you   To throw caution to the wind   And that's when the mirror the mirror on the wall says   "Babe, you better throw your towel in"      All that I don't know paralyzes me   But somehow I keep going on just to settling for this mediocrity yeah   And I wonder if God is trying to make a fool out of me   Wonder if God is trying to make a fool out of me   Wonder if God is trying to make a fool out of me      There are legends who die and I've never even heard their songs   And there are heroes of a generation whose poetry is not on my shelf   And my soliloquies would make Shakespeare turn over in his grave   And voyagers would forbid me to join in their crusade      All that I don't know Paralyzes me   But somehow I keep going on just to settling for this mediocrity   I wonder if God is trying to make a fool out of me   Wonder if God is trying to make a fool out of me   Wonder if God is trying to make a fool out of me   Wonder if God is trying to make a fool out of me      Well I wish I could fight against Ali and win   I wish I could write with Joni Mitchell's pen   Sail the Atlantic on a paddle boat   I wish I could smile like Bobby De Niro   And I wish I that the lotto was the number of my telephone   I wish I could sing a duet with Bono 'cause I don't want to sound   Like anyone else you know I just wanna take you under my spell      Excuse me for saying   What I know down deep is my sin   Maybe I'll fool everybody into thinking   I know what just what I am doing      And I wonder if God is trying to make a fool out of me   Wonder if God is trying to make a fool out of me   Wonder if God is trying to make a fool out of me   Wonder if God is trying to make a fool out of me   Wonder if God is trying to
