Nobody ever  had a dream  round here
 But I  don't really mind  that it's starting  to get  to me
Nobody ever  pulls the seams  round here
 But I  don't really mind  that it's starting  to get  to me
I've  got this energy  beneath  my feet
 Like something  underground's  gonna come  up and carry  me
I've  got this sentimental heart  that beats
 But I  don't really mind  that it's starting  to get  to me
Now.."Why  do you waste my time?"
 
 Is the answer to the question on your mind
 And I'm sick  of all my judges  so scared  of what  they'll find
 But I know  that I can make  it as long as somebody takes  me home
 Every now  and then...
 Oh, have you ever  seen the lights?
 Have you ever  seen the lights?
 I took the shuttle on a shock-wave ride
 Where the people on the pen pull the trigger for accolade
 I took a bullet, and I looked inside
 Running through my veins an American masquerade
 I still remember Grandma Dixie's wake
 I'd never really known anybody to die before
 Red white and blue upon a birthday cake
 My brother, he was born on the fourth of the July
 And that's all, "So why do you waste my time?"
 Is the answer to the question on your mind
 And I'm sick of all my judges, so scared of letting me shine
 
 But I know that I can make it, as long as somebody takes me home..
Every  now and then,  Every now and then
 You know I see London, I see Sam's Town
 Holds my hand and let's my hair down
 Rolls that world right off my shoulder
I see London, I see  Sam's Town now
