I wish that I could get up in the early morning time,
And things would fall out of the sky into my lap,
I wish I had the brain of a Tyrannosaurus Rex,
So that I wouldn't have to deal with all this crap.
I wish that I'd been born with skin that turned to golden brown,
While at the beach relaxing in the summer time,
I wish that I was good at football, baseball and lacrosse,
Darts and basketball, and poker, golf and chess.
I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me,
On a silver platter, like they did to you.
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become,
The man you think I should aspire to.
Small instrumental -
I wish I had the genes of Edwardo Verastegui,
That I was effortlessly masculine as well,
I wish that confidence was all you could see in my eyes,
Like those interviews in locker rooms with talented sports guys.
I wish I had no self-awareness like the guys I know,
Who float right through their lives without a thought.
Or that I didn't give a shit what anybody thought of me,
That I was so relaxed you'd think that I was bored.
I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me,
On a silver platter, like they did to you.
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become,
The man you think I should aspire to.
I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me,
On a silver platter, like they did to you.
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become,
The man you think I should aspire to.
I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me,
On a silver platter, like they did to you.
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become,
The man you think I should aspire to.
I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me,
On a silver platter, like they did to you.
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become,
The man you think I should aspire to.
I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me,
On a silver platter, like they did to you.
Was that my other one?
