Gonna' live a derivative life
Got the gall to tell yourself a pretty little lie
That "I am gonna' amount to so much more
Than playing Tekken 2 all night on your living room floor"

Look around, look around, you might find me
Dead on the road, another nail in the casket
Look up, look up, you'll see me
Either your names in lights or in stone

Another dropout rockstar
Wading in the waters that will swallow him under
Not all of your dreams come true, don't be a fucking fool
And throw everything in your life behind for

Idealized
You're only seeing one side of the coin of all this
Lifestyle you think fulfills you
You're only putting off the thoughts of growing up

I know you want reaction, want a little rapport
But it's hard to make heartache fun, so break a leg
On your way back down to your pull out couch
Or mine, that's what friends are for
"That's fuckin' gay, dude"
I'm not the man to ask, don't get deluded
I'm diluted of substance
I'm only surface
But I can spell it out
Blunt, black and white
You're fucking stupid if you think you were cut out for

Idealized
You're only seeing one side of the coin of all this
Lifestyle you think fulfills you
You're only putting off the thoughts of growing up and getting a job

Wait around for something better
Something only you can see
