Livin' Th' Dream

Yesterday I turned 23
The date didn’t mean that much to me
Then I started adding figures up in my head
It seems the cost of dreaming’s left me in the red.
Because of alcohol I’ve shared sixteen beds
There’s a five year reunion hanging over my head
At least 11'000 people think I’m something I’m not
The courage to let them down isn’t something I’ve still got.
Sometimes I want to cheat but I don’t
I want to quite but I won’t
'cause I made this bed.
Give me a shovel you’ll be amazed
At how fast I dig a grave
Baby just, lay in it.
You’re only brave 'til you’re scared
You’re only unique until compared
To every other worthless f**k trying to
Crawl into bed tonight.
You can’t afford to live like this (Yes we can, yes we can)
You can’t be dumb enough to dream so big (Yes we can, yes we can)
Because we’ll sail through the sleazy seas
Past all the casting couches, rug burned knees
No I’m not done yet, you know I’m only getting started.
You can’t afford to live like this
You can’t be dumb enough to dream so big.
Yeah we’ll sail through the sleazy seas
Past all the casting couches, rug burned knees
No I’m not done yet.
You can’t afford to live like this (Yes we can, yes we can)
You can’t be dumb enough to dream so big (Yes we can, yes we can)
Because we’ll sail through the sleazy seas
Past all the casting couches, rug burned knees
No I’m not done yet, you know I’m only getting started.
