What a Scene

When you're feeling all wrong in the back of your mind again

How does it feel?

When you drop down

Everything's all the same

Oh, yeah

Saccharine, caffeine, nicotine gum

All tastes sweet but it's not for long

And I just think you thought it would be

And when you're looking for truth on the cover of a magazine

How does it feel?

When you found out what you're not going to be

Oh, yeah

They give you your image and the things you believe

Open your eyes, tell me what did you see

And I just think you thought it so real

[Chorus]

And how does it feel when you're out on your own?

And now it's too late to go home

And it's hard to be free when you're down on your knees

Take it easy 'til you make it alone

Now your supermarket, punk rock, television, comedy

Out on the scene

Yeah, I been down now there's no hand to feed

Oh, yeah

And all the beautiful images lining your walls

Pop radio screaming down the halls

And now you think you found something real

When it's all about money and the things that you need

Live a big lie and they all believe

And I just find that somehow obscene

[Chorus]

And how does it feel to be out on your own?

And now it's too late to go home

And it's hard to be free when you're down on your knees

Take it easy 'til you make it alone

Take it easy 'til you make it alone

What a scene

(Yeah)

It's all been said before

And all been done

Take it easy 'til you make it alone

Take it easy 'til you make it alone

[Repeated over and over]

La na na na na

La na na na na

'Cause lies weigh more than truth

Innocence looks good on you

Now everybody wants to know your name

[Repeated over and over to the end]

La na na na na

La na na na na
