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
[fading]
