Sonny

All we want and all we can’t have…
Who let you in? Who lets you in?
Who shut you out? Who shuts you out?
And who opened up your eyes for you?
Face it — you can’t be what you want to be
And all you dreamed you’d become is shot now
Forced to take it to the streets with your name and your number
So yeah, we’re running
Sure, we’re running
Please, will an angel come over to hold up my shoulders
And help me back on my feet?
Or put your money in the payphone
Tell them you’re running
Blowing up in a big way
Putting on make-up
Changing your name
Now you’re standing in the shadows
Or for whomever is paying
Sonny, you’re a big shot now
Sonny, when you come down, how you gonna count?
Face it — it’s what they want you to be
And what they want you to be is a rising star
Forced to take it on the stage with your name and their numbers
So yeah, we’re running
Sure, we’re running
Please, has an angel come over to stand on my shoulders
And force me back on my knees?
Or put your money in the payphone
Tell them you’re running
Falling hard in a big way
Loosing your mind here
Wasting all day
Now you’re drowning in the shadows
Or for whomever is paying
Sonny, well it’s all shot now
Sonny, since you’ve come down, how you gonna count?
Are you gonna count?
Yes
