Story behind the song
Weirdly, this song was written on 06/06/06. I think that's pretty cool. Makes me wish it was more metal.
Lyrics
So you say you wanna be A big shot author, a critic A cynic, a poet And you say you wanna be A famous actor, a singer A big time celebrity But oh, how you'd sell your soul Just to see your face on the big screen In flashing lights The limo will be there to take you home When you're too drunk to know When the world says you can do no wrong When you keep writing the same song after song When the curtains close will you still be strong And let your mind shine on? So you say you'd do it all Lie, cheat and steal Just to get some recognition And you say you'll take it all The business by storm, they won't Ever see you coming But oh, how you'd sell your soul Just to make a little cash to burn On lonely nights The contracts are waiting Sign on the dotted line in blood When the world says you can do no wrong When you keep writing the same song after song When the curtains close will you still be strong And let your mind shine on? I don't wanna be Remembered that way Selling my soul for Another dollar bill But any other man Might just take the offer and run No, but not me I've got my integrity So keep on writing that same old song So keep on playing that same old part It doesn't matter bout your creativity Just so long as you get paid
