G.I. Joe moved to Mexico, he's hiding from the I.R.S. 
         D                 G 
Wearing diamond rings and living like a king 
      D      A        D  D 
At an undisclosed address 
 
Superman, he flew to Japan, he gave up fighting crime 
He's doing commercials for compact cars 
Living in a big high-rise 

D         G                    A 
But everybody's gotta grow up sometime 
    D                          G                A 
To get a little slice of that big old American pie 
     D      G                    A 
Yeah, everybody's gotta grow up sometime 
 G   A    D 
Why can't I? 
 
D G A 
 
The old Lone Ranger bought an R.V. park somewhere in Arizona 
And Tonto built a big casino 
And owns half of Oklahoma 
 
Barbie and Ken, they got a divorce, I guess that's the way it goes 
She got the house and accessories 
And told Ken to hit the road

G                  D 
All of my heroes abandoned their egos 
     C                      D 
And left me at home on the range (left me at home on the range) 
G                           D 
I'm still stuck, I'm still down on my luck 
C                          A 
Waiting for something to change

Why can't I?

Yeah, why can't I?
