See this is what I want to be

In all honesty, I want to be more than just me

I want to be a raging revolutionary

Somewhere in the 60's

Or the pessimistic optimist

The one that sees the worst bad in every good thing

I want to be the girl that runs a nation

Or the terrorist that sets people free

Because in all reality, I wanna be more than just me

I want to be the girl who has the best of both worlds

Or the boy that likes girls and other guys

The bad example of a snob

But the best example of a bitch

I wanna see the world through the waters of the sea

Because in all reality, I wanna be more than just me

I want to be more than a poet but a lyricist 

Because I wanna be the optimistic pessimist

And I wanna see the the good in everything bad

And the sun in the storm

Yet the flaw in the rainbow

That doesn't shine everyday

I want to be the musical note that lasts for day

Because in all reality, I wanna be more than just me

I want to be a ravishing beauty from the 50's 

That sits around

Crown in hand

And tell ancient stories about the slave land

I want to be the female king

Or the best male queen

I want to rule the world

And diminish poverty 

But these are all things I'd do 

In spite of just being me

I want to be the sweetheart with an attitude

Or the devil with a halo

That often hangs low

Because of the constant uproar of the people with their heads hanging low

I want to cause a riot or a strike that strikes not a nation but the globe

And sends it tilting and shaking 

And left blind to the naked eye

And all just to see

That in all reality, I wanna be more than just me

I want to be the slave that owns a plantation

Or the prisoner with the prison's key

I want to be the dancer with no rhythm

Or the song with no melody

I want to be the exact opposite of everything

And be marked anonymous 

In a world where classification is key

I want to be the orchestra with no symphony

Or the piano with no keys

The writer without a pen

Or the radio with no tune to sing

I want to be all that and more 

Because in all reality, I wanna be more than just me
