I used to want to be a rockstar, screaming my songs to the crowd
Now Sean on drums, Jeff on lead, Carl on the bass, my name is Nate
This song is for sandy, she's my girl. Sandy baby you rock my world
But now I'm older, and it doesn't seem so nice anymore
I don't want the garage band scene, playing the clubs
I don't want the home made demo or the local indie record shop
To put me on their label and make us a part of it
I don't want to get picked up, open for punk bands until we're signed
By Sony or BMG or someone who puts out our first album
I don't want the hit single, the second single, the headlining act
Which leads to the money and the car and the new equipment
And the 10,000 dollar a day habit I suck down my nose
I don't want the experimental sophomore album or the return to pop third
I don't want to fade away and become a cult classic or worse yet
A joke on some VH1 where are they now show.
I used to want to be a song writer, a real troubadour like bob Dylan
There is something noble about his old profession of traveling
Around the country, just telling stories, a throwback to good old days
But now I'm older, but I'm not any wiser
I don't know any stories; I'm too foolish to record them
And the ones I do know everyone has already told
And besides, there are enough of these quasi song writers
Trying to recapture a nation with poorly written folk tunes about times
They weren't even around for. I don't want to be some English major
Who learned guitar in college and decided that because he knew a few
Metaphors and smoked a little pot he was a poet, an artist in an artless time.
I know what I am; I have no delusions about myself like these fake poets do.
But I must also know that yes, I bought a Bright Eyes album
Yes, I defended Connor Oberst when my friends said it sucked
"No, it's just a revival of sorts, think of it as modern Dylan"
And yes I got the rock shows and put my fist in the air
I go in the mosh pit and clap along with the drummer keeping 4/4 time
With the bass drum. I sing the anthems along with the singer and I wish
For all of my life that I was so worshiped like these demigods are by
Drooling fool like myself who only wanted to get into music
Not the scene, not the girls, not the fame, kids like me who just wanted to
Create something good, whether or not anyone ever heard it
I am a hypocrite and a fraud, but the big difference is that I know I am.

you don't seem that drunk. It's not an artless time. I'm not sure about that Bright Eyes guy. I liked him when he was 14. I know people that know him from Omaha, but he's apparently way to famous now to go back to much of a personal level with them. But my favorite artists are the ones I know personally, as I can experience and respect the entire world of their art and character. I wouldn't call it a scene perse, just freinds who have a unique take on the world that I appreciate.

I wouldn't sing it.
I wouldn't record it.
Hell, I wouldn't even tell anyone I wrote it.
<oops!>

Never a good time to post, when you're inebriated.
