Verse One:
I use to think that I could be an Astronaut
If I just gave it all I got
I can do anything I want
But I'm older now and so I recognize a lie
Doesn't matter how hard I try
You know I'll never reach the stars
My hopes my best laid plans and all my dreams you see
Are too big for my ability
You know I try with all my might
To spread my wings making this Earth a memory
Make everyone remember me
As I'm flying out of sight
Whoa oh oh oh
Chorus:
Don't tell me its ok when it's not
Don't tell me I can buy what can't be bought
Some people have a little
Some people have a lot
You never get anymore then you already…
Verse Two:
I use to give everything I had and more
Can't remember what I did it for
Everybody lets me slide
Isn't it great every time we celebrate mediocrity
And learn lessons in hypocrisy
So everybody makes the grade
I took my time to find that I could coast along
And everybody still sings my song
And still you play it like you care
Every time you lie you know you take a little bit of my liberty
Back again in mental slavery
When you worship what is fair
Whoa oh oh oh
Chorus
Guitar Solo
Chorus:
Don't tell me its ok when it's not
Don't tell me I can buy what can't be bought
Some people have a little
Some people have a lot
You never get anymore
You never get anymore
You never get anymore then you already got
