The bands I like
they don't sell too many records
And the girls I like
they don't kiss too many boys
Books I read
will never be best sellers yeah
But come on fellas at least
we made our choice hey
Hey hey hey hey
What do we want
And when do we want it
And how would we feel
if we knew that we were
never gunna get it
And where did we start from
And where are we going
Can anyone here say
with any certainty
that they know
what they're doing
Ever feel like an awkward
understudy thrown into a cast
where you just don't get along
Crowd and the crew all standing
silent staring and
you can't shake the feeling
that somehow
you're doing it wrong
What do we want
Mum and dad always
seem like that had a plan
Everything fell apart
when mum moved on
now dad's a broken man
And all these decisions
that keep getting made
I can't remember making
them and nobody
wants to explain
We're all awkward understudies
wearing comfortable shoes get
ting comfortable
with doing it wrong
Missed the dress rehearsals
and we had to rush a drink
before the show
but now it's show time and
we're singing our song
Because the bands I like
they don't sell too
many records
And the girls I like
they don't kiss too many boys
Books I read will never
be best sellers yeah
But come on fellas at least
we made our choice
The bands I like
they don't sell too many records
And the girls I like
they don't kiss too many boys
Books I read will never
be best sellers yeah
But come on fellas at least
we made our choice
Be a fan of every band that
made you want to move your feet
Fall along with every person
who ever made your heart
want to skip a beat
So come on
come on come on
What do we want
We shall not overcome
We shall not go well
Hey hey
Because the lives we lead
they will be so very perfect
And the plans
we make made us
serve some kind of purpose
But the hearts we meet
still beat the way they used to
If you're doing it wrong
well yeah what you gunna do
What do we want
