Never try to fit yourself into a set of dreams
Circumstances change and life is never what it seems
Someone must have said to you when you were still a child:
“You can have it all if you just stick with it a while.”
You’re finally cool, you’re finally cool
You’re finally everything you wanted to be in high school You’re really in touch, you’re really in touch
You’re finally what we always used to call “too much”.

He spent the winter overhauling a motorcycle. I'll never forget the day he fired it up in his parents' basement. No muffler, no pipes -- just the sound of that Harley-Davidson engine. Let me tell you, that racket was really impressive. We came out of the Rockton Hotel once and the O'Brien Street bridge was being repaired. So we jumped on the Harley and crossed the Atikokan River on the foot-bridge behind the library. That was cool. I remember thinking: "I've got to get one of these."
Verse 3: Wanna be a driver, I would win the biggest race
Wanna be a fighter, I would punch you in the face
Wanna be an athlete, I would win most every game
Wanna be a pop star, I would really love the fame
Always try to fit your music to a different chord
Inspiration’s more than just relief from being bored
(If) Life is nothing more to you than the glory you can hoard
You’ll be disappointed by the treasure you’ve ignored
You’re finally free, you’re finally free
You finally look like someone I once saw on TV
We’re watching you now, we’re watching you now
Every one of us wishing we could just be you somehow.
