Alter Ego

Alter Ego I am just a simple man With little education But sometimes being a simple man Can add to one’s frustration Why can’t you be more like Brad That handsome movie star Or even more like that guy Neil In a spaceship he went far Maybe a bit like Lewis Who drives his car so fast Or the one they call Usain I’m sure he never finished last Maybe like the guy named Prince Who can play and sing and dance Or the guy they call Fabio Who’s full of love and romance Maybe more like Elon Who seems so very smart Or the guy by the name of Billy Gates We all know he can start . But I am just a simple man With very simple taste And trying to be like someone else Just seems like such a waste
