Imagine if your guidance counselor were in Motley Crue. This would be your assembly.
lyrics
F#minor
I should have been a fireman.
I'd never get speeding tickets
And alright, I'd have to walk through fire, I guess,
but really I have walked through fire for less
I would gladly walk through fire
in a magic suit, with an oxygen mask
saving women, children and cats
for the right to drive
one hundred miles an hour
I should have been a paramedic.
I'm responsible and empathetic
'malready certified in CPR
I'd like to take a spin
in the hospital car
save lives and drive
one hundred miles an hour
I should have been a car mechanic.
I wouldn't have to keep replacing
every mobile makeout room
that ever took me places
And I guess I'd have to spend all day
drilling under hoods for minimum wage
but on the weekend I could go out and relax
take my funny car down to the track
for the night to just drive
one hundred miles an hour
I should have been a policeman
sit by the road with a radar scanner
Well, then again...
I got too much love
for my fellow man
Obviously this is another protest song about speeding tickets. Gotta focus on the important issues.
