lyrics

Pick up the paper
read about the new star of the day.
Skim through the article
and read about the new things he did.

And wish it were you
hanging out with movie stars,
wish it were you
driving all the fancy cars,
you wish it were you
outside of all the madness.
Wish it weren’t you
picking up the page.

You slip on some slacks
and climb into a humble automobile.
Five days a week
begging, “Man things can’t be this real.”

And then you think about Jimmy
and his high school band,
touring the country
in a minivan.
But when did the world tell you
that you couldn’t dream?

You wish it were you
hanging out with movie stars.
You wish it were you
driving all the fancy cars.
You wish it were you
outside of all the madness.
Wish it weren’t you picking up the page.

You got to keep yourself straight,
cause its not too late.
You’re going to figure it out.
Just what you’re about.
Cause you know that if its not now,
then some other day you’re picking up a page.

You wish it were you
hanging out with movie stars.
You wish it were you
driving all the fancy cars.
You wish it were you
outside of all the madness.
Wish it weren’t you
picking up the page.

Wish it weren’t you
and everything you are.
Wish it weren’t you
without you to know.
Wish it weren’t you
in all the madness.
Wish it weren’t you
picking up the page.

Pick up the paper
read about the new star of the day.
