lyrics

Model Citizen


She wakes to as simple story
To deeds never done
Her Dreams
Her Passion
Like fallen leaves just scattered to the ground

Seemed like no one was listening
Seemed like no one even cared
Her Beauty and her madness
Brought us down to the ground

(chorus)
She’s a model of the tabloid’s dreams
A creation of greed
She Aint got much to say
But smiles at everybody’s needs

Aint no time for takin
things that should have been said
No point in wondering
what could have been


You aint gonna get any closer
to those dreams that should have been
You aint gonna get any closer
to those passions of your dreams




Ohhh

This aint no sacred ground
She craves for a simpler life
Just to walk on the beach
She hides away from prying eyes

A prisoner of her beauty
Circumstance don’t lie
And as we embrace, she turns to break
As tears fall from her eyes

Chorus
In all those years of man-made smiles
and red-carpet parades
to a silver screen
Hollywood
And Presidential
Accolades

A wish for a simpler life
Never been closer
To running away

No time for running
Gotta make a change
( repeat x2 )

Oh oh

(Break)
No time for running
No time for running
