[Verse 1]
A simple vision, a street where hopes can come to die
A padded prison you’ve locked yourself inside
No consolation prize, no sympathy
American dreams drain out to the sea

[Chorus]
You sang them your song, and you sang it with all your heart
Could do no wrong
And a whisper of fame was just enough for you to play the game
But not for long

[Verse 2]
Aspiring actors, stolen souls, and dying stars
You tried to make it your new home, alone on the boulevard

[Chorus]
You sang them your song, and you sang it with all your heart
Could do no wrong
And a whisper of fame was still enough for you to play the game
But not for long
You played them your song, and you played it with all your heart
Could do no wrong
And whеn they whispered your namе, you thought that was your cue to board your train
You didn’t ride for long
[Bridge]
Love me, don’t leave me, believe me
I’m something more than knocking at the door of opportunity
Love me, don’t leave me, don’t tell me
I’m nothing less than something blessed by Him, and I always win
Love me, don’t leave me, believe me
I’m something more than knocking at the door of opportunity
Love me, don’t leave me, don’t tell me
I’m nothing less than God or Jesus Christ, don’t deserve this lot in life

[Outro]
I don’t deserve this lot in life
I don’t deserve this lot in life
