Trying so hard to get by To be the next big thing alive But all the same Every color I see, a pale shade of grey Trying so hard and they say "You're just a signature away Just one handshake" Well here's to collars and suits And things that they say "Once more it's your chance, just take it Once more, don't be so blind For all I care you fake it It's your chance to shine" And it's all All that I dream of There's nothing I want more There's nothing I would trade it for All I dream of (My mistake if I'm not taking it) It's all I really want (All at stake if I'm not making it) There's nothing I want more My big break if I'm not braking it) There's nothing else (My problem if I can't take it) It's my problem if I can't take it Why would we change our own game These are the rules by which we play I've heard it all before "Try to make up your mind And make up your face" I don't believe in a way To skip a chapter and be great There's no such thing Where all traumas and flaws are gently erased Here's to the collars and suits And the things they say You've got bring something better to the Table to tempt me Here's to the collars and suits And the things they say Better put your money where your mouth is
