I wanna see myself under the bright lights Looking down at thousands of people, looking back up at me Tell 'em my dreams will be shattered (Shattered) When I wake up to reality We've been at this game for so long now Not gonna let it bring me down Don't stop looking on the bright side See you trying to shoot up the light You can piss on my parade but I'm not gonna get wet Why does he see the worst in everything? Can't you see we're doing what we want to do? Can't you see it doesn't matter what you say? Doin' what we want, we'll do it all our way We've been at this game for so long now Not gonna let it bring me down Don't stop looking on the bright side See you trying to shoot up the light You can piss on my parade but I'm not gonna get wet Come out to the show Then you'll go home and you'll know We're just having fun and following our dream
