[Intro]
Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be?
Who do you want to be today?
Do you want to be just like someone on TV?

[Verse 1]
Oh, boredom is so terrible; it's like a dread disease
Nothing could be worse than when there's nothing on TV!
I'd rather be a cowboy than to stare blank at the walls
I've been reborn so many times, I can't remember them all!
And I say...

[Chorus]
"Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be?
Who do you want to be today?
Do you want to be just like someone on TV?"
Just like somebody on TV!

[Verse 2]
I think I'll be a teddy boy; I think I'll be a hunk
I think I'll be a tough guy & I think I'll be a punk!
I might just be a fashion star, all dressed in frilly rags
Or perhaps I'll cross the other side & walk around in...
Drag!
[Chorus]
Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be?
Who do you want to be today?
Do you want to be just like someone on TV?
Just like somebody on TV!?

[Trumpet Solo]
(Oh yeah..!)

[Bridge]
Do you like to live just like a rock in the middle of the sea?
Do you want to suffer by yourself in a pool of blissful misery!?
Do you feel like a saint in artists' clothes with a rosary in your hand?
Do you wanna be crazy like Van Gogh, like a stranger in a
Strange, strange land!?
Would you rather push the buttons & be feared by all humanity?
Or perhaps you'd like to be a bum? Do you wanna be stupid?
Just like me!?

[Chorus]
Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be?
Who do you want to be today?
Do you want to be just like someone on TV?
Just like somebody on TV!
[Outro]
Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be?
Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be!?
