[Verse 1]
Look around outside
Ain't nothing to do but hang around
Think about all the stupid things that I've done
I guess I ain't nothing but a clown
If I had a wish, I swear I'd wish, I'd wish for just one thing
And I don't even like to think about all the things my wish'd bring
[Chorus]
Because I just want to be James Dean
I just want to be James Dean
I just want to be James Dean
For a day
I want to be oversexed and underworked and look at me I'm such a jerk
And I just want to be James Dean
For a day
[Verse 2]
Think about stories of the actors and the movies stars
Sitting here watching the old men drinking at the bar
I think about Dean and all the things he should I have tried
I think about Dean and all the ways he could've died
Yeah, died
And I wouldn't give a shit about anything because I'd be such a big movie star
And that don't really do me much good just crying at the bar
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Going crazy because I'm always all alone
Going crazy no one calls me on the phone
I think about Dean and I know Dean he wouldn't care
If I was Dean I know there'd be somebody there
Yeah, there'd be somebody there
For me
Yeah I think about all the really cool things I could do and say
Then you go and tell me that you found out Dean was gay...
[Outro]
No, I don't want to be James Dean
I don't want to be James Dean
I don't want to be James Dean
Anymore
