Take a match to the mess Iâve made
Itâs just wasted energy
Shiny lights; just a love affair
A few weeks late to the scene
Well I know, what I know, what I know
This ainât Hollywood
Now just an empty space
Where a dreamer once stood
No, we wonât get out alive
Oh, thereâs no getting out alive
Go, go
âcuz itâs all we know to do
Wide-eyed and see through, with big dreams
Big dreams from a bed room.
Well I know, what I know, what I know
This ainât Hollywood
Keep it tight in the back of your mind
And keep it there for good.
No, we wonât get out alive
Oh, thereâs no getting out alive
Iâm better, better for the time
A penny per regret and weâd all be rich
A hundred different misses, for every single hit
Thereâs a hundred other kids who do it just like me
A hundred different hands whoâd give it up for free
Boys and girls, all lined up at the door
Youâd better know just what youâre asking for
