You crave attention    As if it's due to you    You want permission   To behave as badly as you do       You want respect, but    You don't act respectable    You want fame to fill the void    Where you once had a soul       But you haven't earned it   You haven't walked long enough in these shoes   You don't deserve it    You have'¹t nearly paid your dues       It's so pathetic   This image you portray    Shatters like crystal    And slowly fades away       You want the world's eyes    You need the accolades    You want the money    And all the empty praise       But you haven't earned it   You haven't walked long enough in these shoes   You don't deserve it    You have'¹t nearly paid your dues       When it's all over    What will you have left?    You'll still be incomplete    Forgotten and depressed       You want acceptance    It's all you wanted all along    You want forgiveness    From those who you have wronged       But you haven't earned it   You haven't walked long enough in these shoes   You don't deserve it    You have'¹t nearly paid your dues
