Go to school, memorize all the facts
Don't question content or the truth that they lack
Listen to your parents and wear the right clothes
You're kneedeep in shit, boy, but you smell like a rose
(yeah you do)
Put your skills to work and land a fine job
Shmooze with your bosses while they plunder and rob you
I don't wannabe like they want me to be
I just wannabe, wannabe, wannabe...
I wannabe like Superman
And fly through the sky
I wannabe like Spiderman
Slinging my webs way up high
I wannabe like Aquaman
Swimming deep down with the fish
I wannabe like Emeril
Serving my thoughts on a dish...on TV
Turn the paper over and read the fine print
A thousand bucks a month is what they're asking for rent now
Pick a girl, get married and strap yourself in
The going gets rocky from here on in
(Rocky D'Andrea)
Change the diapers, pay for the cars
Find your redemption in the neighborhood bars
I don't wannabe like they want me to be
I just wannabe, wannabe, wannabe...
I wannabe like Superman
And fly through the sky
I wannabe like Spiderman
Slinging my webs way up high
I wannabe like Aquaman
Swimming deep down with the fish
I wannabe like Emeril
Serving my thoughts on a dish...hey hey
(let's turn it up a notch now)
I wannabe like the Lone Ranger
Ride the west on a horse
Wannabe Luke Skywalker
And learn to use the friggin' force
I wannabe just like Batman
With a Super Bat-Belt
I wannabe like Pee Wee Herman
And do the big shoe dance as well...hey hey
I wannabe like James Bond
And spy on you in a tuxedo
Wannabe like John Holmes
With an extra long libido
Wannabe just like Vic Chesnutt
And write a perfect song
I wannabe like Jesus Christ
Cause then I'd do nothing wrong anymore
I'd do nothing wrong anymore
Maybe I'd find what I was here for...
