i wish i was a rich man,

a genius or a leader

the man that i wanna be

should i get a real job

start a real life have a future

is this what i'm meant to be

but i'm a drifter

with a pipe dream

to live a full life

this is life to me

if i had a new car

and a big house

from a desk job

would this still be the real me

i've got a torn mind between my dreams

and what this world says i need to be

if i was a genius with a clear mind

and a good heart

things would be so clear

give me more cash and some success

maybe then i'd be a real man

with a real life and security

to make me smile again

till the sun sets

then i'd be a rich man

a dead man with a head stone

 to tell the world

i was a real man.
