Could've Been

Could've been a politician

Tell people what to do

With intellectual vision

Hell, I could lie to you

Could've been the inspiration

For a love song or a prayer

Maybe start a new religion

Would anybody really care

Could've been, should've been

Could've been me somehow

Could've been, should've been

Could've been me

Well, I'm not gonna get caught sittin' about

Waitin' for the world to go round

It's gonna be me, gonna be me

Not should've, it's gonna be me

Somehow, yeah, yeah, somehow

Yeah, yeah

Could've 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

I shouldn't be so bad

It's open to interpretation

The best time that we never had

Could've been, should've been

Could've been me somehow

Could've been, should've been

Could've been me

Well, I'm not gonna get caught sittin' about

Waitin' for the world to go round

It's gonna be me, gonna be me

Not should've, it's gonna be me

Somehow, yeah, yeah, somehow

Yeah, yeah

You beat yourself up over the things you say

And someone else is losing their life today

Before you walk away

Start givin' it up, livin' it up, 'til you drop

You gottaDiddle it up, diddle it up, up 'til you

Hey, heyCould've been, should've been

Could've been me somehow

Could've been, should've been

Could've been me

Well, I'm not gonna get caught sittin' about

Waitin' for the world to go round

It's gonna be me, gonna be me

Not should've, it's gonna be me

Somehow, yeah, yeah, somehow

Yeah, yeah
