a million people

words � Tom Smith 1999

this is the typical white boy angst
you've heard it before and you'll hear it again, probably better put
why am i still here?
why are you still listening?
a million things to say to you
a million people who felt this way and i never knew
it's nothing new

this is a typical storyline
you've seen it before and you know how it's all going to end in tears
it always does
a million pounds were invested in this
a milion people will stump up their hard-earned cash to
sit in the cinema seats
pretend they're not themselves for two hours

and a million people are hurting here
they broke all our hearts when they decided to pay for the movie rights
it isn't right
