Be Like Him

(альбом: Just Because - 2014)

I wanna be a holy man
I wanna kill your pain with the wave of my hand
I wanna be the president
I wanna sign away your debt with the stroke of my pen

So don't tell me that I can never be like him
'Cause ain't nothing need to stay the same way it's been

Because I've seen the straight turn gay and the gay turn bi
A bird learn to swim, and a fish learn to fly
The drunk get dry and the fat get slim
So don't you ever tell me that I can never be like him

I wanna be a boxing champ
I wanna knock you out and then shake your hand
I wanna be a scientist
I wanna blow up the basement and try it again

So don't tell me that I can never be like him
'Cause ain't nothing need to stay the same way it's been

Because I've seen the meek turn bold and the bold get shy
A liar tell the truth and the truth become a lie
The drunk get dry and the fat get slim
So don't you ever tell me that I can never be like
Tell me that I can never be like him

I know what I can never be
But that ain't for you to tell me

Because I've seen a genius fail, a dummy get rich
The resentful forgive, the loyal ditch
A blind man hit and a marksman miss
A pretty girl that can't make love, ugly girl that can really kiss
And the drunk get dry and the fat get slim
So don't you ever tell me that I can never be like
Tell me that I can never be like
Tell me that I can never be like
Tell me that I can never be like him
