i don’t want much
 
i want to be just like you
 
i want respect
 
just like you
 
i want to rule the earth
 
just like you
 
i want to be able to walk into a bank and take out a billion dollars any time i want
 
just like you
 
i want to walk into the most expensive restaurant in the world and get personally escorted by the maitre’d to the best table
 
just like you
 
i want to star in a hollywood movie any time i want
 
   
      
just like you
 
i want to be elected president of the united states any time i want
 
just like you
 
i want everyone in the world to know my name
 
just like you
 
i want to be able to go anywhere and do anything
 
just like you
 
you were born in the big house on the hill
 
   
      
and you had everything
 
i was born in a shack down by the railroad tracks
 
and i had nothing
 
that was not very fair, was it?
 
i don’t want you telling me i should be grateful because i don’t live in a hole in the ground 
 
i don’t want you telling me i should be grateful because i have not starved to death
 
do you live in a hole in the ground?
 
have you starved to death?
 
who are you to tell me i should be grateful for anything?
 
i know what i want
 
all i want is to be just like you
 
is that asking so much?
