Everybody wants to be an Indie rocker
I just wanna let you know I’m here to stay
So if you ever wanna be anything to anybody
I suggest you pick one face and give yourself a name, oh

Everybody’s trying to find that perfect t-shirt
Much too tight and walk around in worn out jeans
Well even though you try to hide it
I see through those fake disguises
You make it too easy when you’re trying to be seen, oh

You left me and all my good intentions
Dead and bleeding on the floor

Keep it down
I can hear you
Don’t be so loud
There’s no need to try so hard
There’s no need to fight so hard
Oh nobody’s watching but me

I admit that I have tried to keep the knowledge
Well name these five bands and you’re in the right club
So even if I’ve never heard ‘em,
Make up names you’ve never heard of
Pray to God their non-existent album will appear

I’m stuck here with all these blurry pictures
Of what you said you were before

Keep it down
I can hear you
Don’t be so loud
There’s no need to try so hard
There’s no need to fight so hard

And I’m not against the indie scene
The tight t-shirts or worn out jeans
Come to think of it, it sounds a bit like me
Well maybe I just wanna be an indie rocker

Keep it down
I can hear you
Don’t be so loud
There’s no need to try so hard
There’s no need to cry so hard
Oh nobody’s watching but me
