WBU (who be you) - K.2.B

Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be? Who do you want to be today? Do you want to be just like someone on TV? Oh, boredom is so terrible It's like a dread disease Nothing could be worse than When there's nothing on TV I'd rather be a cowboy Than to stare blank at the walls I've been reborn so many times I can't remember them all, and I say Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be? Who do you want to be today? Do you want to be just like someone on TV? Huh, do ya? Just like somebody on TV I think I'll be a teddy boy I think I'll be a hunk I think I'll be a tough guy And I think I'll be a punk I might just be a fashion star All dressed in frilly rags Or perhaps I'll cross the other side And walk around in drag Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be? Who do you want to be today? Do you want to be just like someone on TV? Huh, do ya? Just like somebody on TV Do you like to be just like a rock In the middle of the sea? Would you rather suffer by yourself In a pool of blissful misery? Do you feel like a saint in artists' clothes With a rosary in your hand? Would you rather be crazy like Van Gogh Like a stranger in a strange, strange land? Would you rather push the buttons And be feared by all humanity? Or perhaps you'd like to be a bum Do you wanna be stupid, just like me? Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be? Who do you want to be today? Do you want to be just like someone on TV? Huh, do ya? Just like somebody on TV Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be? Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be?

We were sitting 'round the table At the Tuesday poker game Solvin' all the problems of the world Tryin' to draw an inside straight Jimmy posed the question As he played a pair of Kings "If you could be anyone in this whole world Who would you be" "Would you be Elvis, shaking up Memphis Making all the young girls scream Would you make a speech that would change the world Like Martin Luther King" "Go down in history, like Abe Lincoln 'Cause you set a country free If you could be anyone in this whole world Tell me, who would you be?" Hank said, "I'd be a Cowboy" Someone like John Wayne Johnny said, "Hey Pilgram Blow that cigar, smoke the other way" Said he'd make a million dollars Pitchin' in the Major Leagues Then he stared straight into Paul's bloodshot eyes And said, "Who would you be?" "Would you be John Lennon, can you imagine Giving hope with just a song Would you be the Babe, pointin' that bat Saying this ones going long" "Maybe Moses, partin' the waters Saying children follow me If you could be anyone in this whole world Tell me, who would you be?" Well, I knew those boys would roll their eyes When they heard what I had to say But I shuffled the cards and said, "Deuces wild And I told them anyways" "I'd be a father, who had all the answers To every question my kids had I'd earn every word on that coffee cup That said, world's greatest dad" "Be a perfect husband to that woman Who means everything to me If I could be anyone in this whole world That's who I'd be Yeah, that's who I'd be"
