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 nothin' 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
Cuz i just wanna be james dean
i just wanna be james dean
i just wanna be james dean
for a day
I wanna be oversexed and underworked and look at me i'm such a jerk
And i just wanna be james dean
for a day
Think about stories of the actors and the movies stars
sittin' here watchin' the old men drinkin' at the bar
i think about dean and all the things he should've tried
i think about dean and all the ways he could've died
yeah, died
And i wouldn't give a shit about anything cuz i'd be such a big movie star
and that don't really do me much good just cryin' at the bar
But i just wanna be james dean
i just wanna be james dean
i just wanna be james dean
for a day
See but i'm overworked and undersexed and look at me i'm such a wreck
And i just wanna be james dean
for a day
Going crazy cuz 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...
No, i don't wanna be james dean
i don't wanna be james dean
i don't wanna be james dean
anymore
