about

This is a song about hoping it's impossible to dream too big.

lyrics

So you want to be in a rock band
You and what army?
'Cause there's millions of kids who want all that and more

You want to shout it from the rooftops?
That's adorable
'Cause there's no way in hell that you'll make it off the first floor

You wanna be a concept band so your fan will remember you
But you're not good enough to write like Coheed and Cambria

So give up! You'll never make it out there anyway
Just give up! Wishing on a star won't make it true
Give up! Stars are just big balls of gas
The universe will let them pass
And buddy, I got news for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're a star

But you still wanna chase rainbows
Well, give it your best shot
You know you ain't got a chance 'cause this city'll eat you alive

You think you're better than all that?
That's impossible
'Cause even your idols always gotta fight to survive

Why don't you imitate John Cage for a while?
His kind of music really seems more your style

Give up! You'll never make it out there anyway
Just give up! Wishing on a star won't make it true
Give up! Stars are just big balls of gas
The universe will let them pass
And buddy, I got news for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're a star
Whoa oh oh, you're a star
