Livin' Th' Dream

Yesterday I turned 23
 The date didn't mean that much to me
 Then I started adding figures up in my head
 It seems the cost of dreaming's left me in the red
 Because of alcohol, I've shared 16 beds
 With a five year reunion hanging over my head
 11, 000 people think I'm something I'm not
 The courage to let them down is something I've still got
 Sometimes I wanna cheat, but I don't
 I wanna quit, but I won't
 'Cuz I made this bed
 Give me a shovel, you'll be amazed
 At how fast I dig a grave
 Baby just lay in it
 You're only brave 'til you're scared
 You're only unique until compared
 To every other worthless fuck trying to
 Crawl into bed tonight...
 She can't afford to live like this
 Yes we can, oh yes we can
 She can't be dumb enough to dream so big
 Yes we can, oh yes we can
 Move through the sleazy scenes
 Past all the casting couches, rug-burned knees
 I'm not done yet
 No, I'm only getting started
 You can't afford to live like this
 You can't be dumb enough to dream so big
 Yeah we sailed through all the sleazy scenes
 Past all the casting couches, rug-burned knees
 No, I'm not done yet
 You can't afford to live like this
 Yes we can, oh yes we can
 You can't be dumb enough to dream so big
 Yes we can, oh yes we can
 Move through the sleazy scenes
 Past all the casting couches, rug-burned knees
 I'm not done yet
 No, I'm only getting started
