Never done nothing, ain't never been nowhere
Ain't never seen a goddamn thing
Guitar hero, el sincero
So convinced the phone will ring
Man of the moment ' like little boy blue
He's gonna beat rock and roll
Should be apparent that a man of his talent
That everything will turn to gold

Every day taking me for a fool
On the stage, struts his stuff, he's so cool

I bet you wish that you could be...
I bet you wish that you could be...

Moral accuser, he says everyone's a loser
That the means justify the end
Sweet mother lover, underneath the covers
With the wife of a real close friend
Ain't got a worry, he ain't got a care
Cos failing would be too absurd
Coming on strong, with someone else's song
While mama sites and writes the words
You know

Every day taking me for a fool
On the stage, he's the kin, old king cool

I bet you wish that you could be...
I bet you wish that you could be...be...be
I bet you wish that you could be...
I bet you wish that you could be...be...be

This man is a legend in his own mind

I bet you wish that you could be...
I bet you wish that you could be...be...be
I bet you wish that you could be...
I bet you wish that you could be...be...be
I bet you wish, I bet you wish
I bet you wish, I bet you wish
I bet you wish, I bet you wish
I bet you wish, I bet you wish
I bet you wish, I bet you wish
