"Wished I Was A Giant" [Live]
Lyrics:
Click to view larger
"Wished I was a giant" said "Man get off the street!" Spoken like a traffic cop Cronies at his feet Turned on his radio and picked up the noise Age rules with reason and who's to disagree? Not Mr. Spit with his abrupt delivery And Mr. Intelligent is just a wannabe like me And who makes the breakfast? And who gasses the truck? The same little bee that stung the bull And caused the bull to buck Only a matter of time before we have to pay If you were 10 years younger And I was a sunbeam "Wished I Was A Giant" said "Man, it's just a dream" Only a matter of time before we have to pay
