Lyrics
Maybe I could be a billionaire
Expressing a desire for financial success or prosperity.
If I wasn't always broke
Highlighting a persistent state of financial instability.
And I could be a comedian
Contemplating the possibility of being a humorist.
If I wasn't such a joke
Acknowledging a self-deprecating view of oneself as a joke.
Guess I knew it all along
Recognizing an underlying awareness of life's challenges.
Being born's where I went wrong
Expressing a sense of regret or dissatisfaction with one's existence.
I always took the medication I was fed
Admitting to a history of relying on prescribed medications.
Get out of my head
Emphasizing a desire to overcome intrusive thoughts.
Get out of my head
Reiterating the need for mental clarity and peace.
I could train to be an astronaut
Contemplating an alternative career as an astronaut.
If I weren't afraid of heights
Admitting a fear of heights as a hindrance to pursuing certain goals.
And you know I could be a supermodel
Playfully considering the idea of being a supermodel.
If you turned out all the lights
Highlighting a condition that obstructs the possibility of being a supermodel.
But all my days are painted grey
Describing a life marked by dullness and lack of excitement.
And I got nothing much left to say
Expressing a sense of emptiness or exhaustion of words.
My ambition is lying underneath the bed
Acknowledging unrealized ambitions buried in the subconscious.
Get out of my head
Reiterating the plea to free the mind from intrusive thoughts.
Get out of my head
Repeating the urgency of mental liberation.
Hey all you prestidigitators
Addressing illusionists or magicians with a suggestion to vanish permanently.
Why don't you disappear for good
Encouraging the disappearance of deceptive or negative influences.
'Cause Hitler could have been a mediocre painter
Contemplating the potential alternate life of historical figures.
Instead of a supercrook
Comparing the hypothetical mediocre talent of Hitler as a painter to his infamous identity.
Instead of a supercrook
Reiterating the idea of Hitler's potential alternate identity.
Maybe I could have a great career
Expressing a longing for a successful career but facing challenges in job stability.
If I could just hold down a job
Highlighting difficulties in maintaining employment.
Or maybe I could be a social butterfly
Considering a more socially outgoing personality if not hindered by personal habits.
If I wasn't such a slob
Admitting to personal shortcomings, particularly in cleanliness.
I always wreck everything I got
Admitting a pattern of self-sabotage in various aspects of life.
On every bullet I ever shot
Reflecting on past mistakes or failures.
Missed the target 'til I finally hit the red
Acknowledging a history of missing opportunities until a significant one is seized.
Get out of my head
Reiterating the plea for intrusive thoughts to leave the mind.
Get out of my head...
Repeating the urgency of mental liberation.
