[Intro]
So we're not going to bother trying
To do it properly, ok cool
God, I've got an attitude ain't I
I ain't fuckin' around

[Verse 1]
Soft little bodies, swollen by the sun
Waiting for the break, that he knows will never come
Four brittle limbs, weak from under-use
And a head full of words
Long green hair, funny looking dude
Big mouth on him and a wicked attitude
And at first impression, he must seem kind of rude
But he does his best, yeah?

[Pre-Chorus]
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway

[Chorus]
I want to be
Just like you
Get myself a job
And a really cool tattoo
I'm walking home
Beside you
Your hair is long and blonde
And your eyes are both bright blue
I want to be just like you
In all I do
[Verse 2]
Jimmy got drunk
On his way to class
Swinging from the roof
Showed everyone his ass
And if you ask him why
He shakes his head and laughs
"There was nothing for it"
Stacy got laid
Boyfriend number one
Took him to her room
And had a little fun
She's wearing out her voice
Telling everyone
And you can't ignore it
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway

[Chorus]
I want to be
Just like you
Get myself a job
And a really cool tattoo
I'm walking home
Beside you
Your hair is long and blonde
And your eyes are both bright blue
I want to be
Just like you
Get myself a job
And a really cool tattoo
Really cool tattoo...
Don't take it so hard
You always take it so hard
Don't take it so hard
Don't take it to heart

It's only 'cos I like you
You are everything I wish I could be
And maybe if I'm like you
Baby would you like me?

You're dressed
Like a Victorian at a swimming pool
You're dressed
Like a deadly lethal ninja assassin
All in black

I want to be just like you...

I want to be
Just like you
Get myself a job
And a really cool tattoo

I made you Trent Reznor
Spinning on his back
With a motorised action
You made me
A red and black scarf
I wear it round my neck
But no motorised action
No motorised action...
