Could've Been

Could have been a politician

Tell people what to do

With intellectual vision

Hell, I could lie to you

I could have been the inspiration

For a love song or a prayer

Maybe start a new religion

Would anybody really care?

Could have been, should have been

Could have been me somehow

Could have been, should have been

Could have been me

Well, I'm not gonna get caught

Sittin' about waitin' for the world to go round

It's gonna be me, it's gonna be me

Not sure, but it's gonna be me somehow

Yeah, yeah, somehow

Yeah, yeah

I could have been on television

Just one more talking head

Sell you an apparition

Buy this and you'll wind up dead

If there's a God above

That shouldn't be so bad

It's open to interpretation

The best time that we never had

Could have been, should have been

Could have been me somehow

Could have been, should have been

Could have been me

Well, I'm not gonna get caught

Sittin' about waitin' for the world to go round

It's gonna be me, it's gonna be me

Not sure, but it's gonna be me somehow

You beat yourself up over the things you say

Someone else is losing their life today

Before you walk away

Start giving it up, living it up 'til you drop

You gotta do it up, do it up-up 'til you, hey, hey

It's gonna be me, gonna be me

I promise it's gonna be me somehow

Could have been, should have been

Could have been me somehow

Could have been, should have been

Could have been me

Well, I'm not gonna get caught

Sittin' about waitin' for the world to go round

It's gonna be me, it's gonna be me

This time, well, it's gonna be me somehow

Could have been, should have been

Could have been me somehow

Could have been, should have been

Could have been me

It's gonna be me, gonna be me

Not sure, but it's gonna be me somehow

Yeah, yeah, somehow

Yeah, yeah
