Tonight I'll laugh myself asleep again To the same old swan songs I just keep hearing And you strike every nerve with your pretensions Always the butt of the joke when no one's laughing You wanted the role, now you're playing the part They're dying to be just like you So sing us a song where we can't sing along And you're the new sensation New sensation I'm better off with my two left feet You're no goddamned messiah with the answers to everything I know that hell is other people I know I'll lose my mind I need some inspiration Inspiration I've grown sick Slick bullshit Eat your heart out This song's about you You wanted the role, now you're playing the part They're dying to be just like you So sing us a song where we can't sing along And you're the new sensation New sensation Who needs a spine anyway? Without a backbone, it's just aesthetics And it's just aesthetics, oh, yeah Can't take the noise anymore Pry up the floorboards and raise the dead It's time to raise the dead, oh, yeah You wanted the role, now you're playing the part They're dying to be just like you So sing us a song where we can't sing along And you're the new sensation New sensation
