Because the bands I like
they don't sell too many records
and the girls I like,
they don't kiss too many boys
Books I read will never be bestsellers,
but come on fellows at least we made our choice
What do we want
and when do we want it
and how would we feel if we knew
that we were never gonna get it
Where did we start from
and where are we going
can anybody here say with any certainty
that they know what they're doing
And I feel like an awkward understudy
thrown into a car so you just don't get along
crowd and the crew are all standing silent, staring
and you can't shake the feeling that somehow,
you're doing it wrong
yeah, you're doing it wrong
Mom and dad would seem like they had a plan,
everything fell apart when mom moved on
now dad's a broken man
All these decisions they keep getting made
I don't remember making them
and darling nobody wants to explain
We're all awkward understudy's
wearing comfortable shoes, getting cuffed(?)
before we're doing it wrong
Had too much to drink before the show 
and then we miss it, dress rehearsal,
it's showtime, singing that song
Because the bands I like
they don't sell too many records
and the girls I like,
they don't kiss too many boys
Books I read will never be bestsellers,
but come on fellows at least we made our choice
The bands I like
they don't sell too many records
and the girls I like,
they don't kiss too many boys
Books I read will never be bestsellers,
but come on fellows you know we made our choice
Be a fan of everybody who ever made you wanna move your feet
Fall in love with every person who ever made your heart wanna skip a beat
Now come on, come on, come on, come on
Sing a song
We will not overcome
We will underwhelm
Because the bands we like,
they don't serve some vile purpose
the hearts we heat 
may not be so very perfect
the hearts we heat,
may not think the way they used to,
if we're doing it wrong,
yeah what's it gonna do
what do we want
