Well I don't mean to sound too bitter And I don't mean to be no fun I know it's just a big distraction And everything's been said and done So step into the role Buckle up It's time to lose control And they told me "Make something simple" And they told me "Make something fresh "You've got to make something snappy "You lose me if it's too complex" I guess it's grown into obsession It used to just be an escape I guess I took the wrong direction I thought you maybe could relate But I will play my part Sing along You know the words by heart And they told me "Make something simple" And they told me "Make something fresh "You've got to make something snappy "You lose me if it's too complex"

Some people were born with silver spoons in hand But I was born playing in a rock and roll band If all the world's a stage, then I want to be a star 'Cause the role that you play might define who you are Yeah, all the tragic heroes learned that pride leads to fall But I'll only get nowhere if I don't try at all I was four years old when I first heard that country boy's tale Where he learned to play rhythm sitting down by the rails Thew his six-string in a sack and he took to the stage Now, baby, there's a lesson that will last through the age So now I'm playing the part of performance art 'Cause it's a legend like that people take to heart They say I'm desperate for attention I've gotta have all eyes on me They say I'm desperate for attention Living my life as hyperbole But is it wrong to want some notice? Is it wrong to want some care? 'Cause if I'm desperate for attention, then I still need you there But it's not like it's just about me It's about sharing with you I've got so many things to say, baby and I've just got to get the all through It takes more than inclination to start a sensation Baby you know that's true They say I'm desperate for attention I've gotta have all eyes on me They say I'm desperate for attention Living my life as hyperbole But is it wrong to want some notice? Is it wrong to want some care? 'Cause if I'm desperate for attention, then I still need you there Now I'm hot in the spotlight Of this play that we're staging And this makeup does nothing To hide the fact that we're aging So come on an dance, baby This is our last-ditch chance They say I'm desperate for attention I've gotta have all eyes on me They say I'm desperate for attention Living my life as hyperbole But is it wrong to want some notice? Is it wrong to want some care? 'Cause if I'm desperate for attention, then I still need you there

Have you ever Have you ever felt sad; have you ever felt pain? Have you ever been lonely; have you ever been lame? Have you ever been shivering out in the cold? Have you ever felt that you're a thousand years old? Have you seen your life crumble to a pile of debris? Are you small? Are you human, like me? Do you know What it is for your heart, for your heart to be broken? Do you know what it's like to lose all your words In shame, before you have spoken? Have you ever found solace in whiskey or rye? Have you lain on your back and just waited to die? Have you lost all your friends and found misery? Are you small? Are you human, like me? I, I don't want to be alone Oh, oh, sweet friend, please lead me home Home to you Do you feel That you just don't belong; you weren't made for this time? Do you feel Ah, that your song's out of tune, and your lyrics don't rhyme? Do the band's tunes not match with the ones that you sing? Do you strum your guitar and break all the strings? Are the notes that you sing in the incorrect key? Are you small? Are you human, like me? Tell me that you understand The feelings that I feel Tell me you could take my hand Tell me we could heal 'Cause I, I don't want to be alone Oh, oh sweet friend, please lead me home I, I don't want to be alone Oh, oh sweet friend please lead me home Home to you
