You flipped a coin it landed head's side up

I'll take the tail end of my broken piggy bank

Make some mistakes and live a little richer

No more excuses

Put the shoulda coulda woulda's into nooses

Bill my wooden casket to my plastic

If it tells you failed transaction

I don't know

Write a check or something

If everyone gave me a dime for all the times dollar signs were in their eyes

Take it to the tip jar

I put my tee shirt in my mouth

To keep from saying things I shouldn't

Just take my picture upside down

So I'm not found any different

We pay the man his plan his fee

To free the speech when talk is cheap

We all will live to some day be

Wannabes and Hasbeens

We all wanna be

We are wanna be's

I don't wanna be

Just a wanna be

But I'm a wanna be

And I wanna be

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
