Everybody's telling me I'm so goodnAnd everybody's telling me that I shouldnGet out of here while I still have the chancenAnd everybody's got their own fantasiesnAnd they all try to push them on menWhile I sit idly, making my own plansnnAnd they might say man, take it easy but I just can't stop nownI'm not as insignificant as I thought I was beforenNot gonna let you tell me sit this one outnBecause I've tried that before, and it didn't do me any goodnAnd I'm not trying to be better than younI'm just learning how to livennAnd everybody's saying to me hey man, this is the chance you get!nAnd this Cleveland skyline's looking more patheticnEvery time I look downtown into the sunnSo don't pass this one up, my friend!nHere's an opportunity to make the endnCome sooner than you ever thought it wouldnnAnd they might say I think I'm dying in this Midwest steel townnBut it's just something missing in their livesnI'm learning how to make the best of every situationnAnd maybe in the long run it will keep me safe insidenFrom all the things I've come so close to turning intonI'll stop it all before it startsnnHey everybody! Let's set the record straight for now!
