Save me from critcial acclaim Save my smile it's too cracked for fame Wish me well with my fantasy Feel my arrogance with your sanity Wash me oh so painfully clean Dissect my words with a fist full of your dreams Build me up and strike me down please Sign my name, sign my name

It takes blood and guts to be this cool But I'm still just a cliché (x2) Just a cliché (x4)

Color my views in red, white and blue I'm wide awake now, wide awake now I kiss you, I kiss you, but I'm falling down And all my friends are crowding around They're crowding around looking to see But all they can see is me, me, me So blow me away now, with your screwed up mind There's no charm left now, for you to find

I see you, you see me And who the hell am I supposed to be I don't care now but I know that I should Washing away, like you knew I would

It takes blood and guts to be this way But I'm still (x8)
