OINGO BOINGO – Who Do You Want To Be | Farewell Concert (1995)

Farewell: Live from the Universal Amphitheatre, Halloween 1995 is a double live album and home video release by American new wave band Oingo Boingo, documenting their final concerts and ending on Halloween night of 1995.

Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be? Who do you want to be today? Do you want to be just like someone on TV?

Oh boredom is so terrible, it’s like a dread disease Nothing could be worse than when there’s nothing on TV I’d rather be a cowboy than to stare blank at the walls I’ve been reborn so many times, I can’t remember them all

Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be? Who do you want to be today? Do you want to be just like someone on TV? Just like someone on TV

I think I’ll be a teddy boy, I think I’ll be a hunk I think I’ll be a tough guy and I think I’ll be a punk I might just be a fashion star all dressed in frilly rags Or perhaps, I’ll cross the other side and walk around in drag!

Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be? Who do you want to be today? Do you want to be just like someone on TV? Just like somebody on TV

Do you like to be just like a rock In the middle of the sea Do you want to suffer by yourself In a pool of blissful misery

Do you want to feel like a saint in artists’ clothes With a rosary in your hand Do you wanna be crazy like Van Gogh Like a stranger in a strange, strange land

Would you rather push the buttons And be feared by all humanity Or perhaps you’d like to be a bum Do you wanna be stupid, just like me

Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be? Who do you want to be today? Do you want to be just like someone on TV? Just like somebody on TV

Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be today?

Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be? Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be?
