Oingo Boingo - Who Do You Want to Be Lyrics

Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be?
Who do you want to be today?
Do you want to be just like someone on TV?

Oh boredom is so terrible, it's like a dread disease
Nothing could be worse than when there's nothing on TV
I'd rather be a cowboy than to stare blank at the walls
I've been reborn so many times, I can't remember them all

Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be?
Who do you want to be today?
Do you want to be just like someone on TV?
Just like someone on TV

I think I'll be a teddy boy, I think I'll be a hunk
I think I'll be a tough guy and I think I'll be a punk
I might just be a fashion star all dressed in frilly rags
Or perhaps, I'll cross the other side and walk around in drag!

Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be?
Who do you want to be today?
Do you want to be just like someone on TV?
Just like somebody on TV

Do you like to be just like a rock
In the middle of the sea
Do you want to suffer by yourself
In a pool of blissful misery

Do you want to feel like a saint in artists' clothes
With a rosary in your hand
Do you wanna be crazy like Van Gogh
Like a stranger in a strange, strange land

Would you rather push the buttons
And be feared by all humanity
Or perhaps you'd like to be a bum
Do you wanna be stupid, just like me

Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be?
Who do you want to be today?
Do you want to be just like someone on TV?
Just like somebody on TV

Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be today?

Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be?
Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be?
