What a Scene

When you're feeling all wrong in the back of your mind again
How does it feel
When you drop down everything's all the same
Oh yeah
Saccharine, caffeine, nicotine gum
Yeah it tastes sweet but it's not for long
And I just think you thought it would be

And when you're looking for truth on the cover of a magazine
How does it feel
When you find out what you're not gonna be
Oh yeah
They give you your image and the things you believe
Open your eyes and tell me what did you see
And I just think you thought it surreal

And how does it feel when you're out on your own?
Now it's too late to go home
And it's hard to be free when you're down on your knees
Take it easy till you make it alone

Now you're a supermarket punk rock television comedy
Out on the scene
Yeah I bit down but now there's no hand to feed
Oh yeah
And all the beautiful images lining your walls
Pop radio screaming down the halls
And now you think you found something real

And when it's all about money and the things that you need
Live a big lie and they all believe
Now I just find that somehow obscene

And how does it feel to be out on your own?
Now it's too late to go home
And it's hard to be free when you're down on your knees
Take it easy till you make it alone
Take it easy till you make it alone
What a scene... yeah

It's all been said before and all been done
Take it easy till you make it alone
Take it easy till you make it alone

'Cause lies weigh more than truth
Innocence looks good on you
Now everybody wants to know your name.
