V1
She's got music in her head, and he's got a picture you ought to see
He's got stories to wake the dead, and she's got a dream that's beyond you and me
How many times have we just let the monster tell us that
we'll never make it on the radio?
It's just a lie and I won't let that sucker hold me back
'Cause they'll be smart enough to play me though
C
And it's time to live
Just take a look around the greatness and the sounds
It's time to live
And we're not hiding
V2
She's an actress by the day, but she wears a uniform at night
And you ought to pay him more to play, but he's not the kind to put up a fight
How many times have we just let the monster tell us that
the only good is on the radio?
It's just a lie and I won't let that sucker hold me back
'Cause he's not strong enough to slay me, no
V3
I've made music for a while, and I've got some pictures you ought to see
I've played a part just to make you smile, and I've got a story to help you believe
How many times have we just let the monster tell us that
we'll never make it on the radio?
It's just a lie and I won't let that sucker hold me back
'Cause they'll be smart enough to play me though
