Look around outside
  Ain't nothing to do but hang around
  Think about all the stupid things that I've done
  I guess I ain't nothin' but a clown
    If I had a wish, I swear I'd wish, I'd wish for just one thing
  And I don't even like to think about all the things my wish'd bring
    Cuz I just wanna be James Dean
  I just wanna be James Dean
  I just wanna be James Dean
  For a day
    I wanna be oversexed and underworked and look at me I'm such a jerk
    And I just wanna be James Dean
  For a day
    Think about stories of the actors and the movies stars
  Sittin' here watchin' the old men drinkin' at the bar
  I think about Dean and all the things he should've tried
  I think about Dean and all the ways he could've died
  Yeah, died
    And I wouldn't give a shit about anything cuz I'd be such a big movie star
  And that don't really do me much good just cryin' at the bar
    But I just wanna be James Dean
  I just wanna be James Dean
  I just wanna be James Dean
  For a day
    See but I'm overworked and undersexed and look at me I'm such a wreck
    And I just wanna be James Dean
  For a day
    Going crazy cuz I'm always all alone
  Going crazy no one calls me on the phone
  I think about Dean and I know Dean he wouldn't care
  If I was Dean I know there'd be somebody there
  Yeah, there'd be somebody there
  For me
    Yeah I think about all the really cool things I could do and say
  Then you go and tell me that you found out Dean was gay...
    No, I don't wanna be James Dean
  I don't wanna be James Dean
  I don't wanna be James Dean
  Anymore
