Wannabe

WANNABE

I'm tired of getting tossed around
This bottom level is cheap
Take your complementary drinks and chug 'em
I'd pour them all out
But there is no sink
And I signed a piece of paper
To swear I won't make a mess
Take your entitlement and shove it
Right up the back of you offensive dress

Because I'm never playing at another Science Formal again
(negative) I'm never playing at another science formal again

Oh I hope I make it
Oh I hope I make it
Don't wannabe a wannabe
(repeat x 3)

Well everybody loves a dreamer
Until they're seventeen
Now I'm feeling all this endless pressure
To get a real job, nest and get married
But I've never been the kind of guy
To follow all of my friends
So I'll delay the kids and mid-size cars
don't wanna bond over Hondas and regrets

Because I'm never playing with another uncommitted band
(dissenting mumble) I'm never playing with another uncommitted band

I wanna play Bluesfest
With Tony Bennett
Amy would be impressed

I wanna see sunsets
At Coachella, yes
As the main-stage address

Oh watch out
I'll make a hit
You're gonna listen to it
While you're taste testing at Costco

Watch out
I'll make a hit
You're gonna listen to it
While you're buying shit at a Wal-Mart

Oh I hope I make it
Oh I hope I make it
Don't wannabe a wannabe
(repeat x 4)
