We Wanna Be Like You Lyrics - Daniel Mcclelland

You want it, you get it, you always win 

You rewrite, you recast so you don't sin 

You grab at the goods and you just grin 

You leave us for dead, and think of spin to spin us 

But we wanna be like you 

Looked up to after a life of paying dues 

Wealth accruing, no-one turning screws 

No-one stopping ya or cluttering the view 

The sky-rise, the mansion, the live-in nurse 

The pay-rise, expansion, it's well-rehearsed 

Advertise your mentions, every verse 

Devise a pension investment that survives beyond your hearse

And we wanna be like you 

Looked up to after a life of paying dues 

Wealth accruing, no-one turning screws 

No-one stopping us or cluttering the view 

All that changes now you wanna rule 

You might find we stop buying all your bull 

You're shoveling but we think that you're too full 

of yourself and of your crap, it's time you went to school 

You gambled that we liked you (but we do not) 

You thought that you could rule us and we'd pay you too (we won't) 

Turns out that it's us who turn the screws (oh yeah) 

And by stepping forward you're cluttering our view 

You buy us, you want us, we want your wealth 

You fly past, you bypass, obsessed with self 

We're outclassed, but steadfast and in good health 

The outcasts will outlast you and all that's on your top shelf

We don't wanna be like you (no we do not) 

Looked down upon, while you lie about paying dues (you lie) 

Why have wealth accrue? You turned too many screws. (oh yeah) 

By stepping forward you went and cluttered up our view
