Man In A Movie

There's a man in a move that I'd like to be
 There's a boy in the story who longs to be free
 There's a girl on the sidewalk and she wants to be
 With a man in a movie that I'll never see
 There's a ship on an ocean that I'll never sail
 There's a circular notion that dooms us to fail
 And they're serving that potion at the places I haunt
 Where I get what I need and I hate what I want
 Oh I get what I need but I hate what I want
 'cause we let them all bleed for our own rock of salt
 and we turn a blind eye to the suffering and pain
 'til a man in a movie reminds us again
 Well there's peace in a valley still somewhere I know
 Where the people will rally and fight for their home
 And I love you darling but this I won't flaunt
 That I get what I need and I hate what I want
 Oh I get what I need and I hate what I want
 'cause we let them all bleed for our own rock of salt
 and we turn a blind eye to the suffering and pain
 'til a man in a movie reminds us again
 and we go on believing it's all in the name
 of a Hollywood ending the reason we came
 of a Hollywood ending the reason we came
