Take a match to the mess I've made
It's just wasted energy
Shiny lights; just a love affair
A few weeks late to the scene
Well I know, what I know, what I know
This ain't Hollywood
Now just an empty s***e
Where a dreamer once stood
No, we won't get out alive
Oh, there's no getting out alive
Go, go
'cuz it's all we know to do
Wide-eyed and see through, with big dreams
Big dreams from a bed room.
Well I know, what I know, what I know
This ain't Hollywood
Keep it tight in the back of your mind
And keep it there for good.
No, we won't get out alive
Oh, there's no getting out alive
I'm better, better for the time
A penny per regret and we'd all be rich
A hundred different misses, for every single hit
There's a hundred other kids who do it just like me
A hundred different hands who'd give it up for free
Boys and girls, all lined up at the door
You'd better know just what you're asking for
It's just wasted energy
Shiny lights; just a love affair
A few weeks late to the scene
Well I know, what I know, what I know
This ain't Hollywood
Now just an empty s***e
Where a dreamer once stood
No, we won't get out alive
Oh, there's no getting out alive
Go, go
'cuz it's all we know to do
Wide-eyed and see through, with big dreams
Big dreams from a bed room.
Well I know, what I know, what I know
This ain't Hollywood
Keep it tight in the back of your mind
And keep it there for good.
No, we won't get out alive
Oh, there's no getting out alive
I'm better, better for the time
A penny per regret and we'd all be rich
A hundred different misses, for every single hit
There's a hundred other kids who do it just like me
A hundred different hands who'd give it up for free
Boys and girls, all lined up at the door
You'd better know just what you're asking for
