The Belle Brigade - Be Like Him

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
