"Not Me"
by Amy

well I saw myself up on stage
playing my heart out anyway
and I liked it

maybe it was just a daydream
but sometimes dreams are more than they seem.
so I tried it.

I promise not to sell out
No No Not me
but who can resist a record company?
Not me.  No Not me.

I wanna write just like Bradley
I wanna look like Gwen Stefani
nobody can tell me it's just a dream
I will make it
(or I'll fake it)

well I see myself with my guitar
ev'rybody's moshing, they know who we are
we might make it

maybe they'll pay us for every show
maybe they won't care if we don't go
we might hate it
(they may hate us)

I promise not to give up, at least not today
maybe someday I'll even learn how to play
it's okay, I still can't play

I don't wanna die just like Bradley
I don't wanna pout like Gwennnie
what if it's impossible for me to be ME?
they tell me "fake it"
that won't make it.
