If Wishes Were Fishes
(Written by Rick Springfield)
I'd wish for no more wars
To
silence the guns
For
all your troubles to be little ones
For
every child in the world to eat their fill
With
a guardian angel on each window sill
I'd
wish for the wealth to be spread around
Every soul when they pass to be heaven bound
And
after I'd wished for all that crap I'd seen
If
maybe I could wish a thing or two for me
I
wish my neighbor would choke on his yappy dog
Wish
I could pick my relatives from a catalog
The
hot girl next door would tan wearing nothing but a smile
Howdee neighbor!
Wish
I could get that knighthood from the queen
I
wish folks would quit calling me Rick Springsteen
I
wish the IRS would permanently misplace my file
I
wish the starter in my damn Corvette would work
I
wish I'd never seen Miley Cyrus twerk
Why does everybody seem so real and I feel like a fraud
I
wish that we were all equal in the eyes of God
If
wishes were fishes I wouldn't smell so sweet
There'd be a million dead fish lying at my feet
I
wish and I wish to make my life complete
I
wanna drink from that wishing cup
But
real life steps in to screw it up
I
wish every God damn body would learn to drive and stop cutting me off on
Interstate 5
And I
wish Scarlett Johansson would give me a call....
867-5309
Wish
money flowed like the falls at Niagara
Wish I'd
quit getting e-mails for cheap Viagara
I
wish there was someway, somehow I could have it all
Wish
I was 21 again, let
the good times roll
My
only worry back then was "does she have birth control?"
I'm
not a doctor but I played one on TV
Paging Dr.
Noah Drake
And
I'd be happy to take a look for free
If
wishes were fishes we wouldn't smell too good
With a bunch of dead fish around the neighborhood
I'm
not the only one who wishes cause this is Hollywood, where all your freaky shit
comes true
And
maybe a wish or two
Wish
every politician wasn't a self-serving dick
Wish
I hadn't googled Anthony Weiner's weiner
Was
our government hit with a stupid stick?
I
wish honest Abe Lincoln was still our president
But
I'd settle for Jesus or Clark Kent
If
wishes were fishes the whole world would eat
But
we'd all be sick of fish by the end of week
I
got a sneakin suspicion I'm not the only freak
who's wishing for blind dumb luck and get nothin here
What
the fuck?
What
the fuck?
What
the fuck?
