special

Lyrics

Hurry up before you go and get old
 Hurry up before your blood runs cold
 None of us were ever meant to stay
 We're all gonna find out one day
 You see, life's too short to run it like a race
 So it's never gonna matter if you win first place
 'Cause we're all the same
 Stop waiting on your fifteen minutes of fame
 'Cause you're not special
 I'm not trying to rain on your parade
 But you're not special
 I'm not trying to bring you down
 I'm not trying to sound so ineffectual
 But you're not special
 ♪
 Hurry up before the bottle kicks in
 Before the poison and the pain sets in
 If you take it down a notch and you let me explain
 That on this earth we are all the same
 And all I can say is
 Stop waiting on your fifteen minutes of fame
 'Cause you're not special
 I'm not trying to rain on your parade
 But you're not special
 I'm not trying to bring you down
 I'm not trying to sound so ineffectual
 'Cause you're not special
 We all live to lie
 We all fall apart
 We'd all go to war
 For the faint of heart
 Instead we're condescending
 There are no happy endings
 I won't hold my breath
 I won't cast a doubt
 I'd never sell you out
 But I'll give you one last chance to own it
 'Cause you're not a god or a poet so
 Stop waiting on your fifteen minutes of fame
 'Cause you're not special
 I'm not trying to rain on your parade
 But you're not special
 I'm not trying to bring you down
 I'm not trying to sound so ineffectual
 But you're not special
 (Get up, get up, get a move on)
 (Get up, get up)
 But you're not special (get a move on)
 (Get up, get up, get a move on)
 (Just know that)
 But you're not special (just know that)
