I could move to hollywood yeah
get my teeth capped I know I could
be a big star

G                         G 
And just like James Dean,  I could be a ( star )figure 1 two times

I could climb the corp'rate ladder
Buy sell and liquidate
may be just like the Beatles 
melodic rockin' heavyweights
G                               G
I could learn to sing and dance if I only had the chance

VERSE 2: Repeat Figure 1 four times over first part of the verse

I could build a tower to heaven 
get on top and touch the sky 
I could a million songs 
all designed to glorify
G                        G                        G
I could be about as good as good as any human could
G                     G
But that won't get me by
