rate me

Intro: I want to learn how to fly I want to be resp0ected I want to get lucky I want to get out of this dump I just want to watch tv I want to be loved I want to be different I want a brother an<br>Ter I'd just rather be forgotten I want to save the world I want to be understood I want to be rich man, I just want to be somebody<br><br>Julie's got the word today she lost her job just one last pay<br>Life don't come easy anymore<br>Still strugglin' on by herself got a picture of jimmy there on the shelf<br>And she looks at him and says why did we let it go<br>I know that sometimes baby we didn't see things eye-to-eye<br>But I got just one question did we have to say goodbye? <br>Just like prisioners in paradise<br>Still far from heaven's door<br>We had it all but still we wanted more<br>Now I realize that I can't turn back the future here to stay<br>But hey we're just children of tomorrow<br>Hangin' on to yesterday<br>Jimmy still recalls the night when he took his guitar and headed on out<br>To find the big time that was his dream<br>He gave up his past and made it alright<br>But there's something missin' in his heart tonight<br>Sometimes what you want ain't what you need<br>He misses drivin' down to the lake at night<br>Holdin' his baby in his arms so tight<br>Ain' t it hard to find illusions when you're livin' in a memory<br>Just like prisioners in paradise<br>So close but yet so far<br>There will come a time no matter who you are<br>When you ask yourself was it right or wrong<br>For me to turn away,<br>But hey we're just children of tomorrow hangin' on to yesterday
