Real man in quicksand

I wish i was a rich man,
A genius or a leader
The man that i wanna be
Should i get a real job
Start a real life have a future
Is this what i'm meant to be
But i'm a drifter
With a pipe dream
To live a full life
This is life to me
If i had a new car
And a big house
From a desk job
Would this still be the real me
I've got a torn mind between my dreams
And what this world says i need to be
If i was a genius with a clear mind
And a good heart
Things would be so clear
Give me more cash and some success
Maybe then i'd be a real man
With a real life and security
To make me smile again
Till the sun sets
Then i'd be a rich man
A dead man with a head stone
To tell the world
I was a real man.
