I wanna be strong
I wanna be cool
Dont want to live by all your rules

I wanna be fast
I wanna be tough
Know when to say enough is enough

I just dont want to be . . .
The average guy

I wanna be an american gladiator
I wanna get all the girls
No one will ever tell me maybe later
Cause they'd know that I rule the world

And once or twice
If it felt right
You could be seen inside my sight

You would sweat
When I walk by
When we break up the girl would cry

No I will never be . . .
The average guy

I wanna be an american gladiator
I wanna get all the girls
No one will ever tell me maybe later
Cause they'd know that I rule the world

I would win
You would lose
You'd have no choice
And I would choose

I would win
You would lose
You'd have no choice
And I would choose

I'd choose not to be . . .
The average guy

I wanna be an american gladiator
I wanna get all the girls
No one will ever tell me maybe later
Cause they'd know that I rule the world

That I rule the world
Yeah I'll rule the world . . .
Someday . . .
