Lyrics
Biding the time till your folks break even
You'll think that you've struck out on your own
Posing yourself for the pats on the back from your empty apostles
You deserve it all I'm told
But if you could write me a true song
Or make me believe in a single word
I'd take a ride on your coat tails
Hanging on with the rest of your herd
Call me a liar or tell me I'm jealous
If only my songs were half as good
Tell me you know how it tastes at the bottom without a dime to your name
I really think you should
Cuz then you could write me a blues song
Or make me believe in a single word
I'd take a ride on your glockenspiel
Ringing bells with the rest of your herd
We all wanna be Bob Dylan
See our name on the TV screen
We all wanna be John the Baptist in the back of a limousine
Count cash with me now :-)
Tell me you've lived every word that you've written
Tell me it's not just a part of your pose
Sing me a song about your sweatervestghetto where they know you by name
I've been there too y'know
But if you could write me a new song
Or make me believe in a single word
I'd take a ride on your coat tails
Hanging on with the rest of your herd
Yeah if you could write me a blues song
Or make me believe in a single word
I'd take a ride on your glockenspiel
Ringing bells with the rest of your herd
We all wanna be Bob Dylan
See our name on the TV screen
We all wanna be JohntheBaptist counting cash in a limousine
We all wanna be David Bowie
See our name in the magazines too
But I think it best that you be yourself or find something else to do...
