Well I'm just a boy with big dreams And like a dream I wish I could have you every night of the week But I can't So I'll have to learn to adapt And although I feel so incomplete All my doll parts are intact Maybe one day we'll make the MTV But until then we'll have to get Used to playing for pennies in the street And they'll give us dirty looks And they'll say "boy you can't play guitar you better hit the Books. better start a family be the man they say you have to be." Well I've been waiting for you since morning Jack What took you so long were you Fuckin' around in the back of nothingness Of greed and ugliness I saw a beggar with a sign in his hand It said "I fought just to fall so far down I can't get back up again" Can you spare a nickel or a dime? So I don't have to die broke So I don't have to die a joke So I don't have to choke on this noose around my throat You'd better mind your manners and watch your tongue And if you forget how to apologize You'd better hope you're never sorry again Cause these uniformed men carry silver guns And they'll put a bullet in your head if you Don't walk and talk and speak and think just like them
