Be Like Him - The Belle Brigade

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
