lyrics

I wish I had learned how to swim
I bet I could do anything
I don’t even need to be the best
in the world
I wish I had gone overseas
you never know what you’re gonna see
I’m bored of the world on the screen
in your eyes
I wish I had learned how to drive
then I would know how to be alive
I played it too safe for my age
I don’t believe in American dreams
I wish I had learned how to swim
I bet I could do anything
I don’t even need to be the best
in the world
I wish I had gone to boarding school
but I was just ten and such a fool
and there’s no way I’d go there now
they ruin young life
I wish I had played less guitar
and spent more time with the calculator
but I couldn’t resist very long
you don’t win friends with maths
they got in there first long ago
they didn’t leave a thing
they stole it away
long ago
they didn’t leave a thing
they plundered it all long ago
and left us all behind
and they won’t give up
and just die off
they’ll take us to their grave
I wish I was born a wealthy man
with nothing to do but sit on my hands
then I wouldn’t be so unsure
about this
I wish I had learned how to swim
I bet I could do anything
I don’t even need to be the best
they ruin young life
