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' gonna be me, gonna be me 

Not should've, it's gonna be me 

Somehow 

  

You beat yourself up over the thing 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 gotta 

Diddle it up, diddle it up, up 'til you - hey - hey 

  

It's gonna be me, gonna be me 

I'll promise it's gonna be me 

Somehow 

  

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 

This time it's gonna be me 

Somehow, someway, somehow 

Somehow, someway 

  

It's gonna be me, gonna be me 

Not should've, it's gonna be me 

Somehow, someway, somehow
