duff mckagan - mezz lyrics
“i read a lot of books, mostly nonfiction. and i don’t watch a lot of tv,
but i like my seattle sports teams. i’ve also seen the cirque du soleil
perform a bunch of times. there are lines in this song about a lot of
those things i’ve read about or seen. it’s like, “god, i wish i could
have been there. i wish i could have done that.” these are things i
think everybody wishes, in some form — they wish they could be there.”
-duff
i wanna be the worlds best lover
i wanna be on every cover
i wanna be the flying man in the cirque du soliel
but i’m me, and that’s all i’ll ever be
i wanna be like serpico, or a freedom fighter
down in mexico, a black man in the fifties south,
see what fake white freedom was all about
i wanna ‘recon’ in vietnam, shoot a ball like
gary payton, i wanna talk to jesus christ,
a-bomb the extreme right
but i’m me, and that’s all i’ll ever be.
and i see there are some things i don’t need
(chorus)
if it was up to me, i’d be those things and
so much more
if it was me, i’d talk to god and kick
down every door
i really wanna save the planet, end all wars
and destructive habits, i wanna raise h-ll
with the c.d.c, see if all is being done about
that f-ckin disease, i wanna be like randy
johnson, play guitar like mick ronson, wanna
set my sights on art collections, give
homeless people a new direction
but i’m me, and that’s all i’ll ever be
and i see, there’s some things i don’t need.
(chorus)
solo
if it was up to me
i’d break down
let the poor have it all
ban all war, if you please and end disease
(chorus)
