lyrics

You were so young when you learned how to play guitar
You told mom and dad you could be a star
And you were only 16 when you learned how to rock n roll
You had your first drink and you played to impress the girls
And then you turned 18 and thought you were so clean cut
But you weren't, you were just burnt our and totally obscene
'cause

Everything you do it in this world seems wrong
You can't fight a broken system
Everything you are is in your song
But nobody is listening

You're 22 you should of stayed in school
You think you're so smart man but you're nobody's fool
You pick up that bottle and you drink it down
Looking for that elusive perfect sound 'cause

You pray every night for success from behind the mic stand
But no one's gonna sit there and put money in your clammy hands, no no no
And everyone thinks that you should just trade it in but you wouldn't dare
No you wouldn't dare

When you put your entire world into a 6 string
It only gives you pain and suffering

Want your la-de-da-da?
Got your la-da-de-da,
I got your la-da-de-da-da-dada-dada right here
