| I joined a band cause they knew
|
| how to dress and what to play
|
| I did not have to think much
|
| Just dye your hair like we do
|
| that guitar will get you laid
|
| We tried to live that perfect lie
|
| I thought I’d found the place where I belong
|
| We had a totally perfect style
|
| It had to be so nothing could go wrong
|
| I played along with band rules
|
| And changed my name to Tom
|
| With eyeliner and fake smiles
|
| When you pose before a mirror
|
| it doesn’t matter if you’re dumb
|
| To leave behind that perfect lie
|
| you need to find a place where you belong
|
| and try to change your perfect style
|
| you wanna be — where nothing can go wrong
|
| To leave behind that perfect lie
|
| To try to change your perfect style
|
| You made me panic, when you smiled it’s true
|
| So leave behind that perfect lie!
|
| Behind the suits and the beatle boots
|
| we really tried to act like normal friends
|
| But there were lies and fighting too
|
| It made me think that everything would end
|
| I left behind that perfect lie
|
| and found another band where I belong
|
| so get rid of that perfect style
|
| you wanna be — where nothing can go wrong |
