Lyrics

[Verse 1] Look around outside Ain't nothing to do but hang around Think about all the stupid things that I've done I guess I ain't nothing but a clown If I had a wish, I swear I'd wish, I'd wish for just one thing And I don't even like to think about all the things my wish'd bring [Chorus] Because I just want to be James Dean I just want to be James Dean I just want to be James Dean For a day I want to be oversexed and underworked and look at me I'm such a jerk And I just want to be James Dean For a day [Verse 2] Think about stories of the actors and the movies stars Sitting here watching the old men drinking at the bar I think about Dean and all the things he should I have tried I think about Dean and all the ways he could've died Yeah, died And I wouldn't give a shit about anything because I'd be such a big movie star And that don't really do me much good just crying at the bar [Chorus] [Verse 3] Going crazy because I'm always all alone Going crazy no one calls me on the phone I think about Dean and I know Dean he wouldn't care If I was Dean I know there'd be somebody there Yeah, there'd be somebody there For me Yeah I think about all the really cool things I could do and say Then you go and tell me that you found out Dean was gay... [Outro] No, I don't want to be James Dean I don't want to be James Dean I don't want to be James Dean Anymore
