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
