Lyrics

I have a habit of laughing when I'm anxious And it's been awful stressful waiting for the joke We left the theater the way that we had got there Slightly disappointed, bored, and broke Couldn't tell you how long we waited You were quiet till you finally said Nobody looks like us on TV If you know the way home, could you show me Hollywood never loved me the way you do They're exploiting our nostalgia For a place that isn't real For a place where everybody can be saved Oh, where's the clutter The sorry imperfections Of those of us too tired to be brave And can you hear the committee Checking all the boxes Pulling on our purses By grabbing at our hearts I'll leave graffiti On the wall behind the Regal Picture of Bob Iger Saying here lies all we loved It was fun But now it's on and on and on Nobody looks like us on TV If you know the way home, could you show me Hollywood never loved me the way you do Nobody's wearing masks in movies Never happened if it's not on the big screen Hollywood never loved me the way you do Sell us complete, but they'll never be done In the back of the theater, wait to be loved Here's my idea A new extended universe The one where we're the characters And we make up the plot Is that compelling A fiction of our making With all our tired aching on display In every shot So no more villains No more superhero battles Just our parties and our problems Our credit score reports And no more structure No more formula or form It's original what's more It's not nostalgia as a last resort Nobody looks like us Nobody looks like us Nobody looks like Nobody looks like us
