Lyrics
Just say you like it
You like it alot
Don?t say nothing else
The stories are disturbing
And painful so read it
Don?t say nothing else
So you say nothing else
But you?re thinking to yourself
Your just glad that it wasn?t you
In the close-up
Your glad it wasn?t true
When you call home
Hey there Mom, yes I?m alright
But city life is grey
I miss my bed, I miss my life
And summer holiday
Hey there Mom, yes I?m alright
But city life is grey
And I can?t run away anymore
Just cry for the camera
You?re gonna be famous
So do nothing else
It?s all good for the ratings
For the ratings
For the ratings it?s good
Don?t do nothing else
So you do nothing else
But you?re thinking to yourself
And you just wish that it wasn?t you
When you wake up
You wish it wasn?t true
When you call home
That won?t happen to me
It?ll be alright
You tell yourself
If it makes you feel better
Then tell yourself
