If I Were You

If I were you, and you were me
Think of the possibilities
Of all the things I'd do and see
If I were you.

If I were you, and you were me
I'd live like self made royalty
And watch the peasants writhe and bleed
If I were you; that's what you'd do.

If I were you, and you were me
The world would run by my decree
And grovel prostrate at my sovereign feet
If I were you; that's what you'd do, you bloody fool.

But I'm not you, you don't know me.
Not anymore; I'll never see
All the things I could do or be
Because I'm not you, and you're not me.
