Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
We don't believe what's on TV Because it's what we want to see And what we want we know we can't believe We have all learned to kill our dreams I need to know That when I fail you'll still be here 'Cause if you stick around, I'll sing you pretty sounds And we'll make money selling your hair I don't care what's in your hair I just wanna know what's on your mind I used to say I wanna die before I'm old But because of you I might think twice Alright, second verse What if my dream does not happen? Would I just change what I've told my friends? Don't want to know who I would be When I wake up from a dreamer's sleep I need to know That when I fail you'll still be here 'Cause if you stick around, I'll sing you pretty sounds And we'll make money selling your hair But I don't care what's in your hair I just wanna know what's on your mind I used to say I wanna die before I'm old But because of you I might think twice I don't care what's in your hair I just wanna know what's on your mind I used to say I wanna die before I'm old But because of you I might think twice
