Oh I wish I was a Shinigami

Originating from an extremely crazy conversation with Laney this is a merger of 'I wish I was a Punk Rocker' by Sandi Thom and Death Note.




Oh I wish I was a shinigami with apples in my hair
From Tokyo to USA - they wouldn’t see me there
I was born bright green but my mother didn’t care
Oh I wish I was a shinigami with apples in my hair

Where the head of state has ruby eyes
Not everybody needs disguise
Where music doesn’t matter cos
We made Kira King
There is no one to take control
Except a Death Note for your soul
And people say we’re scary cos
We know everything

Oh I wish I was a shinigami with apples in my hair
From Tokyo to USA - they wouldn’t see me there
I was born bright green but my mother didn’t care
Oh I wish I was a shinigami with apples in my hair

How dare you say it’s just a myth?
This ignorance cannot be bliss
One touch of paper and I swear your heart will fail
Oh you might think I’m just a teen
But I have so much better dreams
I’ll find the next Kira and be the hero of the tale

Oh I wish I was a shinigami with apples in my hair
From Tokyo to USA - they wouldn’t see me there
I was born bright green but my mother didn’t care
Oh I wish I was a shinigami with apples in my hair

Where gender issues rule the plot
And gambling is all that they’ve got
It’s their job to watch the world; keep it in its place
Where life’s a temporary state
There’s no such thing as love or hate
Could render a man crazy just by showing him their face

Oh I wish I was a shinigami with apples in my hair
From Tokyo to USA - they wouldn’t see me there
I was born bright green but my mother didn’t care
Oh I wish I was a shinigami with apples in my hair

I was born bright green but my mother didn’t care
Oh I wish I was a shinigami with apples in my hair
