It Could Have Been Me
Well, it could have been me
Living in that house
With all those rooms
With all that power
And powerful friends
Flattering friends
It could have been me
Oh, it could have been me
Well, it could have been me
Living on that street
Out in the cold
With nothing to eat
Dream of a home
Dream of a bride
A life alone, lock upside
God, it could have been me
Oh, it could have been me
Oh, it could have been me
Oh no, it could have been me
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Well, it could have been me
It could have been me
Lying in that jungle
Out in that heat
Fighting for my life
Dying for nothing
Feeling a bullet enter my soul
Well, it could have been me
Oh, it could have been me
Well, it could have been me
Oh no, it could have been me
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Well, it could have been me, oh me
Living in that prison
Locked in a cage
Damning the walls
Damn the division
Wondering why it had to be me
Well, it could have been you
Oh, it could have been you
Oh, it could have been me
Oh no, it could have been me
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Living in that house
With all those rooms
With all that power
And powerful friends
Flattering friends
It could have been me
Oh, it could have been me
Well, it could have been me
Living on that street
Out in the cold
With nothing to eat
Dream of a home
Dream of a bride
A life alone, lock upside
God, it could have been me
Oh, it could have been me
Oh, it could have been me
Oh no, it could have been me
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Well, it could have been me
It could have been me
Lying in that jungle
Out in that heat
Fighting for my life
Dying for nothing
Feeling a bullet enter my soul
Well, it could have been me
Oh, it could have been me
Well, it could have been me
Oh no, it could have been me
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Well, it could have been me, oh me
Living in that prison
Locked in a cage
Damning the walls
Damn the division
Wondering why it had to be me
Well, it could have been you
Oh, it could have been you
Oh, it could have been me
Oh no, it could have been me
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
