It's like a bad western: nobody asks questions until the
shootout is done. Do you think I'm a bad person for
cursing in that song? I know I'll never make it, but at
least I can say I tried, and no matter where I take it,
my dreams, they never die. Warm your frozen trends in the
blazing fire fueled by the American Empire. Time can
crush you. We've lost all our virtues. It's not okay. I
know I'll never make it, but at least I can say I tried,
and no matter where I take it, my dreams, they'll never
die. Holding on, I want my fifteen seconds of fame.
