You wanna be a marine biologist
I wanna discover new lands
But the Mariana Trench is far too deep
And GPS fucked my plans
I should have been born in the 40's
Telling revolutionary stories
Passin' hats in Greenwich bars
Swapping songs and comparing scars
Maybe we can start a religion
They say the world's a stage
But our congregation's lacking
Damn this information age
I could have been a famous jewel thief
I could have wrote a Beatles' tune
I could have been a Chinese poet
Singing, drinkin with the moon... tonight
And we will play the same 10 songs
These aren't my words I'll get them wrong
And we will sit, and drink, let's think about how nobody's making hoverboards
I want be the chief of a village
Warrior and wiseman too
I wanna discover fire
Burn it down and start anew
I wanna paint the sistine chapel
Want to eat the forbidden apple
Strum a chord from the first guitar
Take first flight and see how far... We fly
And all this talkin'
Buckle down a goal and lock in
No such thing as time machines and I can't wait for Stephen Hawking
So grab a pen and just start writing
I've been going about it wrong
Write a tune, tour the world and play for crowds who can sing along... this song
And we will play the same 10 songs
These aren't my words I'll get them wrong
And we will sit, and drink, let's think about how nobody's making hoverboards
