Just a song I wrote after a conversation I had with my boss.


Dreams Don't Pay The Rent

--------------------------------------

"My friend once told me she'd be a doc, and then there she went.
I never wanted to be what like her, but I'd gladly be her patient.
But you said my dreams, would never pay the rent.

Playin' guitars, and playin' the hook, never knew it could be a job.
Writing me songs as the player road, and my heart began to throb.
But you said my dreams, would never pay the rent.


Someday, I'm gonna be a rock'n'roll star
Someday, I'm not gonna know who you are
Someday, I'm gonna be a rock'n'roll star
Someday, I'm not gonna know who you are


You took your dreams and idealisms, and you threw'em at me.
Rockin' tunes at wembley stadium is where I want to be.
But you said my dreams, would never pay the rent.

Yer said I should secure my future, and do what others do.
Did'yer ever maybe think what it is that I wanted too?
But you said my dreams, would never pay the rent.


Someday, I'm gonna be a rock'n'roll star
Someday, I'm not gonna know who you are
Someday, I'm gonna be a rock'n'roll star
Someday, I'm not gonna know who you are."

Yeah, but It actually came to me while hearing that Nickelback song in my head. Think it was called "Big Rock Star". But yeah, it definitely ripped of-err, was influenced by Oasis.
