The bands I like they don't sell too many records
And the girls I like they don't kiss too many boys
And the books I read will never be best sellers
Yeah, but come on fellas, at least we made our choice
Hey, hey, hey, hey
What do we want and when do we want it?
And how would we feel if we knew we were never gonna 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?
All the crowd and the crew are standing silent staring
And you can't shake the feeling that somehow, you're doing it wrong
So what do we want?
Mum and dad always seemed like they had a plan
Everything fell apart when mum moved on, and now dad's a broken man
And all these decisions, they keep getting made
I can't remember making them and nobody wants to explain
We're all awkward understudies wearing comfortable shoes
Getting comfortable with doing it wrong
We missed the dress rehearsals and we had too much to drink before the show
But now it's showtime so let's sing it out strong
The bands I like they don't sell too many records
And the girls I like they don't kiss too many boys
And the 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
And the 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 who ever made you want to move your feet
Fall in love with every person who ever makes your heart want to skip a beat
So come on, come on come on, what do we want?
We shall not overcome
We shall underwhelm
Hey, hey
'Cause the lives we lead might not be so very perfect
And the plans we make might not serve some final purpose
But the hearts we heed, they still beat the way they used to
So if we're doing it wrong, well, what are you going to do?
What do we want?
