There is an empty space in the chair tonight Cause he don't feel right There are storm clouds brewing at the back of his mind As he steps outside
He will be twenty in a week But he's old for his years He's had many of those To confront his own fears
But his father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be And his mother isn't growing old gracefully
He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar Cause reality TV killed them all in America Oh the sun always shines in a magazine Tonight can we be free to be who we really are
There is an empty space between the lines tonight And it burns so bright And the angry silence that he throws on the floor Says he don't care anymore
He had money for the truth But love's a lot more And the answer's is not the one he was looking for His father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be And his mother is his mother reluctantly
He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar Cause reality TV killed them all in America Oh the sun always shines in a magazine Tonight can we be free to be who we really are
He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar Cause reality TV killed them all in America Oh the sun always shines in a magazine Tonight can we be free to be who we really are
