A steady job at small potatoes -
For not doing a thing
A small seat at a great big table -
But it was not for me
Wish, i wish, i wish i may
I could've been been somebody
Wish, i wish, i wish i might
I could've done alright
A pointed hat and a subway token -
For an empty seat
A new mercedes that just got stolen -
Just what i need
Wish, i wish, i wish i may
I could've been somebody
Wish, i wish, i wish i might
Maybe another life
Not everyone is running a race
That's never done
For someone without a face
Everyone is running in place
Look before it's too late
A limousine to the top of the hill -
That's what it's not
A one-way ticket to palookaville -
That's what i've got
Wish, i wish, i wish i may
I could've been somebody
Wish, i wish, i wish i might
Don't want to fight that fight
Not everyone is running a race
That's never done
For someone without a face
Everyone is running in place
Look before it's too late
Not everyone is running a race
