I've seen you in the magazines
And I'm really glad you're famous
It never meant that much to me
But now I understandThe way you walked away
From your commitments and your promises
You know how to play the game
You'll never know the way to be a manOh boy, you'll never be the man now
Oh boy, you want to be a star, yeah
Oh boy, you're only Peter Pan now
And you depend on everyone
To tell the world exactly what you areWell, 26 has come and gone
More quickly than it came to you
Everything you've done before
Is only in the pastWell, you should keep a gun nearby
I hope you get the courage
Dying young is the only way
You're ever going to lastOh boy, you'll never be the man now
Oh boy, you want to be a star, yeah
Oh boy, you're only Peter Pan now
And you depend on everyone
To tell the world exactly what you areYou've been fucking for fame since you were 16
Everybody knows
Stolen kisses, some thing's missing
Hey man come or goI'll see you at the showOh boy, I see you with your friends now
Oh boy, pretending you're a star, yeah
Oh boy, there's no way
You can hurt me nowIgnorance is everything
And you've revealed exactly what you areYou're not some rock star
You're not some rock star
You're not some rock star
You're not some rock star
