There is
an empty space
in the chair tonight
Cause he don't
feel right
There are storm
clouds brewing at
the back of his mind
As he steps outside
He will be
twenty in a week
But he's old
for his years
He's had
many of those
To confront
his own fears
'Cause his father's
not the man he'd
like to grow up to be
And his mother
isn't growing old
gracefully
He says
times like these
I don't want to be
a superstar
Cause reality T.V.
killed them all
in America
Though the sun
always shines
in the magazines
Tonight can we
be free to be who
we really are
There is
an empty space
between the lines
tonight
And it burns
so bright
And the angry
silence that he
throws on
the floor
Says
he don't care
anymore
He had money
for the truth
But love's
a lot more
The answer's
not the one he
was looking for
And his father's
not the man he'd
like to grow up to be
And his mother
is his mother
reluctantly
He says
times like these
I don't want to be
a superstar
Cause reality T.V.
killed them all
in America
Though the sun
always shines
in the magazines
Tonight can we
be free to be who
we really are
He says
times like these
I don't want to be
a superstar
Cause reality T.V.
killed them all
in America
Though the sun
always shines
in the magazines
Tonight can we
be free to be who
we really are
He says
times like these
I don't want to be
a superstar
Cause reality T.V.
killed them all
in America
Though the sun
always shines
in the magazines
Tonight can we
be free to be who
we really are
