Mom Said I Could be Anything

Mom said I could be anything I wanted to be

So I picked up the world and tossed it into the sea

I'm happy and confident smiling with glee

I chose the one thing that feels so free

Everyone's a puppet in my cruel show

Pulling all the strings making misery flow

I'm a shadow that lurks in every dark alley

Not a care in the world oh how they tally

Mom said I could be anything at all

So I reached for the heights then took the fall

With a smirk on my face and a heart of gall

I became an asshole standing tall

Walk down the street and I own every glance

Charm 'em with a fake smile then break the trance

Confidence radiates like a toxic spray

Who knew being bad could brighten your day

Look at me now with my head held high

Mom's prophecy fulfilled not just a wannabe guy

In this game of life I defy

Happy confident being sly

Mom said I could be anything at all

So I reached for the heights then took the fall

With a smirk on my face and a heart of gall

I became an asshole standing tall
