lyrics

I JUST WANNA B GOD

I don’t want to be the president
of some fortune 500 company
And I don’t want to be the mayor of some
overpopulated, polluted big city
I don’t want to have tea with the queen
or form a trio with Bono and Rod
I don’t want too much of anything - I just wanna be god.

I don’t need a big white mansion
and I don’t need a swimming pool
I don’t need to be a pillar of fashion
or somebody’s dancing fool
I don’t need a genuine Picasso hanging on the wall
just to prove how much taste I’ve got
I don’t need anything special - I just wanna be god.

I don’t like too many possessions
I don’t like a stressful life
I don’t like religious obsessi0ons
and I only want one wife
I don’t like to be a pawn in the hands
of manipulative men who rip you off
I don’t like to make a fuss - but I just wanna be god.

I can play pretty good guitar and I can sing a song for you
I can take a book of words and
make them say anything that I want to
I could grab a little piece of earth and
make of it a slice of heaven if you want
I think that this life is pretty fine - but I’d still like to be god
So if I can ever find the time - I’d just like to b god
And I hope that you don’t mind - I’d jut like to b god.
