FORMER CHILD ACTOR
(Corey Feldman, Rick Springfield) |
I’ve been boxed in, locked out, shut down
I want so much more
You can’t see me, you can’t free me
I am just your whore
I watch the faces turn away
The work I do is all in vain
I look around for someone to blame, blame
I could’ve been great, could’ve been a contender
But now I can’t do shit ‘cause I’m a former child actor
My message is strength and that should be a factor
But no one gives a crap ‘cause I’m a former child actor
The war I will rage is like a nuclear reactor
But the headlines still reads he’s just a former child actor
And even though that don’t mean shit to you
I still gotta sleep with me
Teenage heartthrob, life-long worst job
Don’t believe the hype
Don’t speak, play ball, dress nice, stay small
I am not the type
The boulevard of broken dreams was the address given to me
I’ve packed my bags long to be free, free
The label is set, should’ve put a tag there
On my birth certificate it reads former child actor
I hear you loud and clear, you better get a gag dead
No one wants to hear a word from former child actors
No one likes spite and I don’t mean to be bitter
But what did you expect I’m just a former child actor
And even though that don’t mean shit to you
I still gotta drink your pee
I could’ve been great, could’ve been a contender
But now I can’t do shit ‘cause I’m a former child actor
My message is strength and that should be a factor
But no one gives a crap ‘cause I’m a former child actor
The war I will rage is like a nuclear reactor
But the headlines still reads he’s just a former child actor
The label is set, should’ve put a tag there
On my birth certificate it reads former child actor
I hear you loud and clear, you better get a gag dead
No one wants to hear a word from former child actors
No one likes spite and I don’t mean to be bitter
But what did you expect I’m just a former child actor
And even though that don’t mean shit to you
I still gotta live with me
