Intro

      

Verse 1

Well I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker    
I wonder what it's like to know that I made the rain    
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on every one 
And you can come and see them when I'm done. When I'm done.   

Verse 2

Well I wonder what it's like to be a superhero    
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown yeah   
From some other planet I'd get this funky high on yellow sun 
Boy, I bet my friends would all be stunned. They're stunned. Yeah ee yeah

Chorus

Straight up what did you hope to learn about here?
If I was someone else, would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you when we started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me. And you. And you.
Yeah, me.

Verse 2

Well, I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho.    
I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said (Just what I said)   
Well I'd shout out an order "I think we're out of this, man, get me some 
Boy, don't make me wanna change my tone. My tone. Yeahhhhhhhh yeah

Chorus

Straight up what did you hope to learn about here?
If I was someone else, would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you when we started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me.

And you. Yeah, me.
