You're sat on broken glass
You like to think you understand
How we grew up so fast
You're a wannabe, wannabe, wannabe man

Zip up your mouth and leave
You brought nothing to me but grief
You want to turn a leaf
You're a wannabe, wannabe, wannabe man

(No, oh)
Wouldn't wanna be ya
(No, oh)
Wouldn't wanna be ya
Wouldn't wanna be ya

(No, oh)
Wouldn't wanna be ya
(No, oh)
Wouldn't wanna be ya
Wouldn't wanna be ya

You're good as dead to me
Wouldn't take you on your bleeding knees
Your greed took all our feed
You're a wannabe, wannabe, wannabe man

Thick lies leave rotten teeth
My time has been taken from me
You're cold but I'm freezing
You're a wannabe, wannabe, wannabe man

(No, oh)
Wouldn't wanna be ya
(No, oh)
Wouldn't wanna be ya
Wouldn't wanna be ya

(No, oh)
Wouldn't wanna be ya
(No, oh)
Wouldn't wanna be ya
Wouldn't wanna be ya

I'll, I'll be outside
He'll be with a black heart when I arrive
Hidden in the dark
Life he couldn't start
Bitter about the things that he tought he was a part of
Nah, ah, ah, ah

(No, oh)
Wouldn't wanna be ya
(No, oh)
Wouldn't wanna be ya
Wouldn't wanna be ya

(No, oh)
Wouldn't wanna be ya
(No, oh)
Wouldn't wanna be ya
Wouldn't wanna be ya
(Hey, hey!)
