you've got stars in your eyes and money in mind
gonna leave that small town world behind
fancy cars and movie stars
there you were now here you are
hey that's great for goodness sakes
look at all the friends you made
and you can't talk now
it might slow you down

someday
they'll know who you are
someday

straight out of a dream you're in with the scene
you're the latenite heavy you made the team
but it's not what you thought it'd be
what's become of the baby?
so you know how to play
how to look what to say
i heard things got rough
and they threw you away
now you hate this town
you wanna burn it down!

someday
they'll know who you are
someday
they'll know who you are
you're the shooting star that just burned out
just burned out

you made it
you made it
you made it in this town
in the lights
looking right
such an ugly sight
everyone knows that it's all who you know
the rise to the top is all who you blow
out the candles with at night
open your eyes for the big surprise
now that you know just how low you can go
you pack up your stories and you crawl back home
where they don't know your name
and those faces never change
now you're
hated!
hated!
hated! in this town
and you know
how the story goes
now you know

someday
they'll know who you are
someday
they'll know who you are
you're the shooting star that just burned out
just burned out
just burned out
just burned out
