This Is Not a Demo (Demo)

You don’t need to shout all the time

To prove you’re cool

You don’t need a pantomime

To know the truth

And I don’t need a couple of rhymes

To say I’m you

And darling, you think you’re fine

Oh, but you’re not brand new

Oh

He walks through a town in a daydream

With three layers of rolled-up sleeves

Sunglasses on so you can’t see

He’s everything you want to be, oh

See their lights

Oh, see their smiles

And yet you say that they’re not really nothing at all

See their lights

Oh, see their smiles

And yet you say that they’re not really nothing at all

You don’t know where you are or where you’ve been

But still little kid, they expect you to know who to be

A memory test

And a few bank notes

And they’ll trap you forever unless you know

You’re not my type

If you know what I like

Then you can get inside

But you’ll be really nothing at all

You don’t need to shout all the time

To prove you’re cool

I don’t need a pantomime

To know the truth

And I don’t need a couple of rhymes

To say I’m you

And darling, you think you’re fine

Oh, but you’re not brand new

Oh, see their lights

Oh, see their smiles

And yet you say that they’re not really nothing at all
