Starring role


Another birthday wish has come and gone
In line at Enterprise Rent-A-Car
What news of the famous? Why do I read?
I can't escape this jealousy

I don't wanna be a spectator on the screen
I wanna know how it feels inside the ring
Pressure on my shoulders to take a swing
'Cause it all depends on me

So please give me a character to play
Tell me the lines I'm supposed to say
It's not enough to be myself
Turn me into someone else

'Cause while I'm up here on this stage
I need a mask to hide my face
Will you direct me, let me shine?
I want the starring role this time

Why do my heroes always compromise?
I never wanna lose the light behind my eyes
Are we so caught up in who's the goat?
I wanna grab 'em by the throat

Bite down, drink the marrow from their bones
I can't bare to survive on other people's crumbs
How am I ever gonna win sitting on my thumbs?
My time has gotta come

So please give me a character to play
Tell me the lines I'm supposed to say
It's not enough to be myself
Can you make me someone else?

'Cause while I'm up here on this stage
I need a mask to hide my face
Will you direct me, let me shine?
I want a starring role this time

This time, this time
I want the starring role this time
This time, this time
Starring role this time
This time, this time
Want the starring role this time
This time, this time

So please give me a character to play
Tell me the lines I'm supposed to say
It's not enough to be myself
Turn me into someone else

'Cause while I'm up here on this stage
I need a mask to hide my face
Will you direct me, let me shine?
I want the starring role this time

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
