Livin' Th' Dream

Yesterday, I turned twenty-three
The date didn't mean that much to me
Then I started adding figures up in my head
It seems the cost of dreaming's left me in the red
Because of alcohol
I've shared sixteen beds
There's a five year reunion
Hanging over my head
At least eleven thousand people
Think I'm somethin' I'm not
And the courage to let them down
Isn't something I've still got
Sometimes I wanna cheat, but I don't
I wanna quit, but I won't...cause I made this bed...
(Give me a shovel, you'll be amazed
At how fast I dig a grave, baby, just to lay in it)
You're only brave 'til you're scared...
You're only unique until compared...
To every other worthless fuck tryin' to
(Crawl into bed tonight...)
You can't afford to live like...this...
(Yes, we can! Yes, we can!)
You can't be dumb enough to dream so...big...
(Yes, we can! Yes, we can!)
Yeah, we'll sail through the sleazy seas
Past all the casting couches, rug-burned knees
No, I'm not done yet...
No-no, I'm only getting started...
You can't afford to live like this
You can't be dumb enough to dream so big
Yeah, we'll sail through the sleazy seas
Past all the casting couches, rug-burned knees
No, I'm not done yet...
You can't afford to live like...this...
(Yes, we can! Yes, we can!)
You can't be dumb enough to dream so...big...
(Yes, we can! Yes, we can!)
Yeah, we'll sail through the sleazy seas
Past all the casting couches, rug-burned knees
No, I'm not done yet...
No-no, I'm only getting started...
