'cause he wants to see you smile, have a good time, be inspired

and he doesn't want for you to cry or know he cries inside

so he hides behind his great triumphant rock and roll disguise

we want things to be real but you really can't deny

we feel excited and on fire is it wrong to lie and say he's fine

when the reason he's not fine is the pressure of the power changing lives

and just for an hour all these people will be better people



take this job and shove it, adios I'm a ghost

I am leaving for the coast and I'll never work for anyone again

I am not your savior or your heavenly host

I'm just a piece of zwieback toast

getting soggy in a baby's achin' mouth

I'm going south like the geese

I just goosed you and so maybe I seem loose to you

but I don't even want to screw

and I did once

but I don't now

now that I see how you do things

the way you play and sing's amazing

but the way you play the game is crazy

you don't have to say you're sorry you don't owe me anything

don't owe me anything



sometimes it seems like I've got all the answers

but the answers aren't the same when the questions keep on changing

like how will I react when I see my mother crying

every single day 'cause she is afraid of dying?

and how will I contain my anger

when Delila plays Unchained Melody instead of Lost In Your Eyes?

and where will I go where I can feel safe

when my family sells its place and we all split up and move away?



I'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm brave

other people feel brave

but I feel like my heart is caving in



I'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm brave

other people feel brave

but I feel like my heart is caving in



I'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm brave
