Oops, I Forgot I Wasn’t in a Movie (The Ballad of John Hinckley Jr)

(Verse 1) I woke up this morning, thought I’d shoot my shot Not with a camera, but man, I had a plot Jodie on my mind, with her Oscar-worthy face Thought I'd be the hero, but I guess I lost the race (Pre-Chorus) I was stuck in the script, couldn’t find the real me Thought life was a flick and she’d give me the key Turns out, reality’s not quite so grand And bullets don’t exactly make you a leading man (Chorus) Oops, I forgot I wasn’t in a movie No lights, no cameras, just a whole lotta groovy Thought I'd win her heart with a little bit of spree But I guess I missed the memo, and now I’m on TV Oops, I forgot, I forgot, oh gee I’m not De Niro, just John Hinckley (Verse 2) Wasn’t that the line? Didn’t I hear it right? Save the girl, get the fame, ride off in the night But instead of roses, they gave me some cuffs Guess my method acting wasn’t quite enough (Pre-Chorus) I rehearsed my lines, I practiced my aim But the critics weren't kind to my little game Thought she'd see me, see my devotion so true But turns out, this isn’t Taxi Driver Part Two (Chorus) Oops, I forgot I wasn’t in a movie No lights, no cameras, just a whole lotta groovy Thought I'd win her heart with a little bit of spree But I guess I missed the memo, and now I’m on TV Oops, I forgot, I forgot, oh gee I’m not De Niro, just John Hinckley (Bridge) Oh, Hollywood, why’d you mess with my head? I was chasing dreams, now I’m chasing meds Jodie’s out there, living her life, While I’m stuck here, regretting the strife (Chorus) Oops, I forgot I wasn’t in a movie No lights, no cameras, just a whole lotta groovy Thought I'd win her heart with a little bit of spree But I guess I missed the memo, and now I’m on TV Oops, I forgot, I forgot, oh gee I’m not De Niro, just John Hinckley (Outro) Roll the credits, fade to black, But there’s no sequel, no coming back Just a guy who thought love meant a scene Oops, I forgot life ain’t on the silver screen.
