Just Like You

One day I'm going to be just like you;
I swear I'll do whatever it takes.
I'll make a stand and alter views,
no matter what I have to break.

No matter what I have to corrupt;
or the tears shed in my name.
Never consider the emotions that erupt;
never show an ounce of remorse or shame.

I'll be reckless and bold
as the best people always are.
I'll be heartless and cold;
then I'll finally be up to par.

One day, I'm going to be just like you.
Then I'll be allowed to have a say.
And it will never matter what I do;
I'll never have to take the blame!

Oh yes, one day I'll be just like you.
Only for a day and just so that you'll see:
I will never be like you,
and you can only hope to be like me.
