Альбом Superchick

We met these sisters Barlow's their last name
Ordinary girls they don't live in the fast lane
They don't rate with the guys that score
Cause they don't flaunt what the boys want more

They don't date they won't date
They wanna see how they're gonna grow up
Who they're gonna be
But in the meantime they might feel unloved
When all the girls around them are hooking up
But I know for sure it's never popular to be pure
And while some guys might be passing them by
I think they've caught someone's eye

[chorus]
All the boys in the band want a valentine from a Barlow Girl
Boys think they're the bomb
Cause they remind them of their mom [Repeat]

Everyone needs to be loved
Everyone needs their own teenage fan club
Dress to impress can be oh so tempting
You can get noticed with your body
Sexual hypnosis by being hottie
You might feel like public property
You might you might you shouldn't be

No girl should feel she has to trade
Her body for love or be an old maid
And yes there are guys who are willing to wait
Ask a Barlow girl on her wedding day

[chorus]
All the boys in the band want a valentine from a Barlow Girl
Boys think they're the bomb
Cause they remind them of their mom [Repeat]

Could someone help me comprehend
How I'm wanting to have friends is now this monster that I feed
It's popularity I need
When people think that I'm the deal
It helps me feel like I am real
but I think I lost the me looking for the star machine
I don't want any part of it. everything is...
[CHORUS]
Here today, gone tomorrow
Big star machine
Ricky Martin or Menudo
Big star machine
VH1 where are they follows
Big star machine
How could I have been so shallow
Big big star machine Big big star machine Big big star machine

Could someone help me comprehend
How I came to judge my friends
On a scale of trendiness
And somehow I love them less
Through the eyes of star machine
It's a dumb philosophy
To judge my popularity
I don't want any part of it. everything is...
[CHORUS]
Here today, gone tomorrow
Big star machine
Ricky Martin or Menudo
Big star machine
VH1 where are they follows
Big star machine
How could I have been so shallow
Big big star machine. Big big star machine. Big big star machine.
everything is...

[CHORUS]
Here today, gone tomorrow
Big star machine
Ricky Martin or Menudo
Big star machine
VH1 where are they follows
Big star machine
How could I have been so shallow
Big big star machine. Big big star machine. Big big star machine.
Big big star machine. Big big star machine.

Turn up the car radio
We can be karaoke superstars
Doesn't matter what they think
When we're driving in my car
If we don't think about it

Red rover red rover please let me come over
Who made you queen for a day
And us court to rule over
Last to be chosen will be here leftover
Well it's alright maybe it's alright maybe it's

I feel alone
I feel unseen
I feel marked down
I just get my keys

And we can
Turn up the car radio
We can be karaoke superstars
Doesn't matter what they think
If we don't think about it

Red rover red rover I don't wanna come over
Cut me down to your size so you tower me over
It only works if I care and if I don't your reign's over
And it's alright maybe it's alright maybe it's

I am alone
I am unleashed
I define myself
I just get my keys

Turn up the car radio
We can be karaoke superstars
Doesn't matter what they think
When we're driving in my car
If we don't think about it

Red rover red rover if you want then come over
It's a no critic car so there's no one to win over
Be your own superstar when the voting is over
And we're alright baby we're alright

I'm not afraid to fall
it means i climbed up high
to fall is not to fail
you fail when you don't try
not afraid to fall
i might just learn to fly and
i will spread these wings of mine

[Chorus:]
If i get up i might fall back down again
so let's get up come on
If i get up i might fall back down again
we get up anyway
If i get up i might fall back down again
so let's get up come on
If i get up i might fall back down again
I might fall back down again
We'll just jump and see, even if it's the 20th time
we'll just jump and see if we can fly

I'm not afraid to fall
and here I told you so
don't want to rock the boat
but i just had to know
just a greener side
or can i touch the sky
but either way i will have tried

If i get up i might fall back down again
so let's get up come on
If i get up i might fall back down again
we get up anyway
If i get up i might fall back down again
so let's get up come on
If i get up i might fall back down again
I might fall back down again
We'll just jump and see, even if it's the 30th time
we'll just jump and see if we can fly

i'm not afraid to fall
I've fallen many times
they laughed when i fell down
but i have dared to climb
I'm not afraid to fall
i know i'll fall again
but i can win this in the end

If i get up i might fall back down again
so let's get up come on
If i get up i might fall back down again
we get up anyway
If i get up i might fall back down again
so let's get up come on
If i get up i might fall back down again
I might fall back down again
We'll just jump and see, even if it's the 40th time
we'll just jump and see if we can fly

If i get up i might fall back down again
so let's get up come on
If i get up i might fall back down again
we get up anyway
If i get up i might fall back down again
so let's get up come on
If i get up i might fall back down again
I might fall back down again

It's been one of those days for a lot of days now
I need a day when the world can take care of itself
This isn't what I wanted how I thought my life would turn out
And I wonder if it's like this from here on out
Sometimes life gets you, but we go on
Sometimes life gets you, we're still going on
[CHORUS]
We're not done yet
Not going quietly into the night, not me and my friends
We're not done yet, don't take us too seriously
It's just life we'll win in the end
And we walk on and on and on and we walk on and on

It's been one of those days for too many days now
I did a thing that I didn't want to do again
I fell down in the place where I always fall down and I wanna give up
And let it be what it's been
Sometimes life gets you, but we go one
Sometimes life gets you we're still going on...

We're not done yet
We're not done yet, don't take us too seriously
It's just life we'll win in the end
And we walk on and on and on and we walk on and on

It's been one of those days but I don't care now
It was only a day and tomorrow's ahead
We got this far and I know that I can ride this one out
Though I want to lie down, yet I won't wait yet
Sometimes life gets you, but we go one
Sometimes life gets you we're still going on...

We're not done yet
Not going quietly into the night, not me and my friends
We're not done yet, don't take us too seriously
It's just life we'll win in the end
And we walk on and on and on and we walk on and on

Well I won't quit yet sometimes life gets you but we go on
Sometimes life gets you, we're still going on

[CHORUS:]
You were meant to live large
Come on, take charge
Let's go light the world up
Let's not wait until the end
To be the things we wish we'd been
You were meant to live life
Come on, let's fly
You're a super trouper spotlight
We're gonna jump on the count of three
Here it comes now
ONE - TWO - THREE jump

If you were a country you'd be Switzerland
You never take a stand
You policy is never to offend
If you were a gambler you would always win
You'd only bet on the horses after they had already come in
And I'm sorry that I'm getting on your cause
But true friends, they stab you in the face


If you were in a movie, you'd be thug number 5
Cuz you don't try out for a starring role
But you name belongs in lights
If you got a GI Joe, you'd never open up the box
Safe inside it's plastic prison
Waiting for the day it rots
And I'm sorry that I'm getting on your case
But true friends, they stab you in the face

[CHORUS]

So life is different than what they show us on TV
Do dreams come true for everyone
Or just for Barbie and I've been waiting here so very patiently
Well it's been so long
It's been too long
I wonder what's wrong with me

I wanna know how to live the real world
I wanna know cause I'm a real live girl

[CHORUS]
I wanna live in TV land with Mr. T and the A-team
My problem they could solve before the end of the show
I wanna live in TV Land where they're so thin and pretty
They must be nice people cause they're on 90210 in TV land
I wish I looked like all the nice actors on TV
Sometimes you've got to choose between real and plastic surgery
Just like the people on the television screen
Barbie's not a role model
She's only make believe
I wanna know how to live the real world

[CHORUS 2]
I wanna live in TV land and be one of Charlie's angels
must be fun to fight crime and have new clothes for every show
I wanna live in TV land like Samantha or Dream of Jeannie
My problems I could solve by wrinkling my nose in TV land
I wanna know how to live the real world
I wanna know cause I'm a real live girl
I wanna live in TV land
We can change the world through the TV show
all kinds of people like we have in the real world
I wanna live in the TV land
Make it safe to be ordinary gonna do my own show
It's about us real live girls in TV land
In tv land, in tv land, in tv land
hey, hey, hey, hey
In TV Land...

Help me out God
I need a little something
Turn the brights on
I can't see where we're going cause I don't know
when things'll work out just fine
Or if this road we're on leads us up
Or is leading me on down to my wishing well
Where I might drown
Oh I might drown
Cause I can't swim without you God
Help me out God
I need a little something
Hold my hand
So I know that I'm not falling down or spinning around
Or am I really just fine is this the vertigo I fell
Just simply fear or maybe real it's a long way down
And I might fall and I might fall cause
I can't stand without you God
Help me out God
I need a little something
Just enough so I don't lose hope
Before morning comes cause in the sun things'll work out just fine
but this night's been extra long I fear I won't make it to the dawn
Cause the night is dark and I might doubt and I might doubt cause
I can't hope without you God
Just enough for today get me through til tomorrow

I wear a disguise
I'm just your average jane
The super doesn't stand for model
But that doesn't mean I'm plain
If all you see is how I look
You miss the superchick within
And I christen you titanic underestimate and swim
I've got the rifle gonna be myself
I've got the rifle gonna be myself
I've got the rifle gonna be myself
I've got the rifle gonna be myself

[CHORUS]
I'll be everything that I want to be
I am confidence in insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world

And I'm a one girl revolution [x3]

Some people see the revolution but most only see the girl
I declare my independence from the critics and their stones
I can find my revolution I can learn to stand alone...

[CHORUS]
I'll be everything that I want to be
I am confidence in insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world...

And I'm a one girl revolution [x3]

I'm a one girl revolution

I'm a one girl revolution

And I'm a one girl revolution

[CHORUS]
I'll be everything that I want to be
I am confidence in insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world

[CHORUS]
everything that I want to be
I am confidence in insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world

There's so much on my mind lately
I can't make out my own thoughts anymore
I don't know where one begins and the other one ends
I wish that I could push a button an d turn it al off
Just for a little while
Long enough to take a breath and then I'll know
[CHORUS]
It'll be OK, It'll be Alright
There's so much that needs to be done lately
I can't make out what's important anymore
I don't know where my needs begin and someone else's end
I don't wanna let anyone down cause
I feel like I'm falling down when I do
But for now would someone else please volunteer to say...
Life is hard for everyone so let's blow it all off
Just for a little while
Let's take a break
It'll still be there when we get back
I always try to solve all our problems by working real hard
Going just another mile
But every now and then I think we should let it go and say...
This is my last verse and it's for everyone feeling not so great today
We don't know what's coming just around the bend
Always hard to believe in your own life easier to find belief for a friend
I'll hope for you
You for me and together we can say...

Some people bring you gifts
Some bring you bricks to weight you down
so they can swim a little higher while you drown some people mean so well
Their way was the best way that they found
But any other way you choose is a brick that weights you down
So tell me what do I do with this backpack
Full of bricks and sticks and stones and words that stuck to me like ticks
[CHORUS]
Let it go, let it be
Brick by brick we can be free of all the words we saved
Till we were our own enemies
Let it go, let it be
Brick by brick we can believe in the person God intended us to be
Let it be
Some people give themselves a brick
I know most people do when we compare
We fall short somewhere
Itüs always true if all we see is where we fall
We've bricked a prison wall instead of trying to learn to fly
We've taught ourselves to crawl we could believe in ourselves
More we could try for unique
Instead of trying to conform
We could defy what they tell us
Don't buy the lies they sell us if we're brave we can believe in what we are

Help me out God
I need a little something
Turn the brights on
I can't see where we're going cause I don't know
when things'll work out just fine
Or if this road we're on leads us up
Or is leading me on down to my wishing well
Where I might drown
Oh I might drown
Cause I can't swim without you God
Help me out God
I need a little something
Hold my hand
So I know that I'm not falling down or spinning around
Or am I really just fine is this the vertigo I fell
Just simply fear or maybe real it's a long way down
And I might fall and I might fall cause
I can't stand without you God
Help me out God
I need a little something
Just enough so I don't lose hope
Before morning comes cause in the sun things'll work out just fine
but this night's been extra long I fear I won't make it to the dawn
Cause the night is dark and I might doubt and I might doubt cause
I can't hope without you God
Just enough for today get me through til tomorrow

(And) I'm a one girl revolution [x3]

I wear a disguise I'm just your average jane

but that doesn't mean I'm plain
if all you see is how I look you missed the superchick within
and I christen you Titanic underestimate and swim

[chorus]

Some people see the revolution
but most only see the girl
I can lose my hard earned freedom if my fear defines my world
I declare my independence from the critics and their stones

[chorus]

Comin out the underground, straight from the top
Where my beats drop, never gonna stop til I take part
Never lookin back, never lettin go
Rippin that flow cuz you know I'm unmatched from the get go
How you gonna act when the chips stack
When you know you can't go back
How you gonna handle that?
When they say that you not up to size, then ya gotta realize...

[chorus]
