\nI wish I was my father\u2019s son,
\nAnd he would speak to me.<\/p>\n
\nAnd I would not be his son.<\/p>\n
\nAnd I could kick him in the groin and stop
\nEnvying his wonderful cock.<\/p>\n
\nAnd they would love me, and
\nSmile to me.<\/p>\n
\nI wish I was God\u2019s son
\nAnd I would have a
\nGoal.<\/p>\n
\nAnd that would be nice
\ntoo.<\/p>\n
\nAnd I would be a beauty
\nAnd I would score
\nGoals.<\/p>\n
\nI wish I was a wild beast,
\nAnd I would never be
\nafraid.<\/p>\n
\nAnd I would love
\nWomen.<\/p>\n
\nI wish I was a bulb,
\nAnd I would hang loosely
\non a wire over a toilet bowl
\nAnd that would be disgusting.<\/p>\n
\nAnd that would be worse.<\/p>\n
\nI wish I had no wish
\nAnd I would be happy.<\/p>\n
\nAnd I would have
\nNo wishes.<\/p>\n
