I wanna see myself under the bright lights
Looking down at thousands of people, looking back up at me
Tell 'em my dreams will be shattered (Shattered)
When I wake up to reality
We've been at this game for so long now
Not gonna let it bring me down
Don't stop looking on the bright side
See you trying to shoot up the light
You can piss on my parade but I'm not gonna get wet

Why does he see the worst in everything?
Can't you see we're doing what we want to do?
Can't you see it doesn't matter what you say?
Doin' what we want, we'll do it all our way
We've been at this game for so long now
Not gonna let it bring me down
Don't stop looking on the bright side
See you trying to shoot up the light
You can piss on my parade but I'm not gonna get wet

Come out to the show
Then you'll go home and you'll know
We're just having fun and following our dream
