All this time, spent running around
And still searching for something that can never be found
Still looking for the answers, still looking for yourself
The answer's not in me, and it's not up on a shelf
I know you want it bad, something you've never had
Stardom made you a man. You can't fool all the fans
I wanna hear a song I could stand listening to
Maybe see something that I could believe in
So sing a song, sing it loud
Maybe someone in the crowd will understand
(It's all about running from the gaping mouth.)
So sing a song, sing it loud
Maybe someone in the crowd will understand
{It's all about running from the gaping mouth.)
The spotlight's shining, heard you had something to say
The hourgla** is pouring, your boring crowd fades away
The spotlight's shining, heard you had something to say
The hourgla** is pouring, your boring crowd fades away
Soundlessly, you think your new
Your fifteen minutes was yesterday
The flavor of the minute now tastes like sh**
So now just try to deal with it
And now you think you are the one
Why go on? 'Cause all your fun has come and gone
And now you want to hear that song
The one that they just play to long
Too long, same song, too long
Alright, listen up
'cause I'm only going to say this once
Everything you've heard by now is a lie pretty much
Well TV stimulates your mind, but it makes you feel controlled
This music thing's so powerful, it can fill an empty soul
American dream, isn't what it seems
Money and Fame, it's only in your dreams
So take a step back, and take a look around
You got the Rebel Yell, but you haven't made a sound
