I wasn't looking for fortune and fame
Didn't care if no one knew my name
I just wanted my song to played on the radio

Slept on any floor for free
It was part of my destiny
I lost my way and ended with no place to go

We never got to make the headlines
Just a ladder in a magazine
Tried until we cried
Bled until we dried
Shattered all our hopes and dreams

I don't want the real world
It's not the place for me
I still believe in my music
I've got this unfinished symphony

[Short instrumental]

Now rock 'n' roll's an old man's game
Everything all sounds the same
I'm outside looking in and I don't really like what I see
(I don't really like it)
Although the years are flyin' by me
I'm happy just to say that I tried
And f you believe that, you'll believe just anything

I don't want the real world
It's not the place for me
I still believe in my music
I've got this unfinished symphony

I don't live in the real world
It's not the place for me
I still believe in my music
I've got this unfinished symphony

Ooh though we didn't make the TV
(No we didn't make the TV)
Ooh I wouldn't let them every break me
(Will never, Will never, Will never let them break me)
Try to write that song that will last my whole life long!

I'm just in it for the money!
I just did it for the money!
Oh yeah!
In it for the money!

[Instrumental]
I don't want the real world
It's not the place for me
I still believe in my music
I've got this unfinished symphony

I don't want the real world
It's not the place for me
I still believe in my music
I've got this unfinished symphony

(You can't have it for free)

Unfinished symphony!

[Outro]
