Story Behind the Song
It's a take on how life could be better if it were a board game.
Lyrics
I wish my life could be like Mr. Milton Bradley. Choose a game to express and then collect in excess. There’d be no loss of life, just the end in sight. When your end would come you can just begin again. I’ll never be just what you want me to be. I’ll never go just where you want me to go. I’ll never do just what you want me to do.
How ‘bout a game of mo-no-poly? I’ll get to choose what I want to be. Some days I feel like a dog, and at other times I feel like the shoe or maybe I’ll be the iron no one wants to BE, I won't throw a fit. I'll never be just what you want me to be. I’ll never go just where you want me to go. I’ll never do just what you want me to do.
This is my life, I’ll run away. I choose my battles, so I can fly into the sun and then BURN, BURN, BURN, BURN. I let you in because I want to free my soul, but really for my own content. My selfishness demands to be heard, but I choose a stealthy stab, it’s for myself and my health… It’s who I…I… I…. I’ll never be just what you want me to be. I’ll never go just where you want me to go. I’ll never do just what you want me to do.
