Ballad of Lost Dreams (Verse 1) These punks know so much I try to compete but no luck I'd give anything to win Should I just give in? I can't even beat Matt What's with that? Crying out in my room, Watching my dreams go boom. (Chorus) Why can't I be Mr. Box Office? You bunch of losers, I'm feeling so nauseous! My soul is empty without the title, I want it all but I'm just a sheet stain, Oh, the burden's so painful, I can’t break this chain! (Verse 2) Late nights with the flickering screen, Counting all the chances that could have been. Tired of chasing shadows of fame, All I feel now is the weight of the shame. They laugh and they shout, While I’m filled with doubt, Heartache echoes in every scene, A dreamer lost in a cruel machine. (Chorus) Why can't I be Mr. Box Office? You bunch of losers, I'm feeling so nauseous! My soul is empty without the title, I want it all but I'm just a sheet stain, Oh, the burden's so painful, I can’t break this chain! (Bridge) I scream at the night, "Don't you see me fight?" But the world just spins, Frickin Atkinsons. The younger crowd moves fast, Shadows of the past, I'm such a phony, I can't even beat Tony (Verse 3) Fingers crossed, I watch the shows, Wishing for a break, but nobody knows. It’s my curse to bear, this restless dream, Chasing the glory, but it’s not what it seems. At the end of the day, Just an echo of gray, My heart’s filled with rage, In this lonely cage. (Chorus) Why can't I be Mr. Box Office? You bunch of losers, I'm feeling so nauseous! My soul is empty without the title, I want it all but I'm just a sheet stain, Oh, the burden's so painful, I can’t break this chain! (Outro) Why can't I be Mr. Box Office? Why can't I be? Why can't I be Mr. Box Office? Why can't I be? You bunch of losers, tearing at my seams, Why can't I be? In the land of dreams, I’m lost at the seams... Oh, why can't I be Mr. Box Office? Even Janet beat me!
