When you're feeling all wrong in the back of your mind again How does it feel? When you drop down Everything's all the same Oh, yeah Saccharine, caffeine, nicotine gum All tastes sweet but it's not for long And I just think you thought it would be And when you're looking for truth on the cover of a magazine How does it feel? When you found out what you're not going to be Oh, yeah They give you your image and the things you believe Open your eyes, tell me what did you see And I just think you thought it so real [Chorus] And how does it feel when you're out on your own? And now it's too late to go home And it's hard to be free when you're down on your knees Take it easy 'til you make it alone Now your supermarket, punk rock, television, comedy Out on the scene Yeah, I been down now there's no hand to feed Oh, yeah And all the beautiful images lining your walls Pop radio screaming down the halls And now you think you found something real When it's all about money and the things that you need Live a big lie and they all believe And I just find that somehow obscene [Chorus] And how does it feel to be out on your own? And now it's too late to go home And it's hard to be free when you're down on your knees Take it easy 'til you make it alone Take it easy 'til you make it alone What a scene (Yeah) It's all been said before And all been done Take it easy 'til you make it alone Take it easy 'til you make it alone [Repeated over and over] La na na na na La na na na na 'Cause lies weigh more than truth Innocence looks good on you Now everybody wants to know your name [Repeated over and over to the end] La na na na na La na na na na
