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
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
"I read a lot of books, mostly nonfiction. And Idon't watch a lot of TV, “
But I like my Seattle sports teams.
I've also seen the Cirque du Soleil Perform a bunch oftimes.
There are lines in this song about a lot ofThose things I've read about or seen.
It's like, "God, I wish I could Have been there. I wish Icould have done that."
These are things I Think everybody wishes, insome form -- they wish they could be there." -Duff
If it was up to me
I'll break down every wall
And 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
