1973 - James Blunt

Too much near the truth they say Keep it till another day Let them have their little game Delusion helps to keep them sane Let them have their little toys Matchbox cars and more kids joys Exciting in their plastic ways Frozen food in a concrete place Your gonna go insane I'm tryin' to save your brain Alright! I don't know what's happening My head's all torn inside People say I'm heavy They don't know what I hide Take a life, it's going cheap Kill someone, no one will weep Freedom's yours, just pay your dues We just want your soul to use You're gonna go insane I'm tryin' to save your brain

There is an empty space in the chair tonight Cause he don't feel right There are storm clouds brewing at the back of his mind As he steps outside He will be twenty in a week But he's old for his years He's had many of those To confront his own fears 'Cause his father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be And his mother isn't growing old gracefully He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar Cause reality T.V. killed them all in America Though the sun always shines in the magazines Tonight can we be free to be who we really are There is an empty space between the lines tonight And it burns so bright And the angry silence that he throws on the floor Says he don't care anymore He had money for the truth But love's a lot more The answer's not the one he was looking for And his father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be And his mother is his mother reluctantly He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar Cause reality T.V. killed them all in America Though the sun always shines in the magazines Tonight can we be free to be who we really are He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar Cause reality T.V. killed them all in America Though the sun always shines in the magazines Tonight can we be free to be who we really are He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar Cause reality T.V. killed them all in America Though the sun always shines in the magazines Tonight can we be free to be who we really are
