  • Now the cover of a Rolling Stone
    Ain't the cover of a Rolling Stone
    And the music on my radio
    Ain't supposed to make me feel alone

    Would you liked to know
    Have to learn to let it go
    Show me something I can be
    Play a song that I can sing
    Make me feel as I am free
    Someone come speak for me

    Well they're celebrating broken things
    I don't wanna world of broken things
    You can tell that something isn't right
    When all your heroes are in black and white

    Would you have liked to say
    At least I still have yesterday
    Show me something I can be
    Play a song that I can sing
    Make me feel as I am free
    Someone come speak for me
    Someone come speak for me

    La di da di da
    La di da di da
    La di da di da di da di da
    La di da di da di da di da
    Hey

    I'm not mad about it
    But I'm not mad about it
    I'm not mad about it
    But I'm not that mad about it

    Just show me something I can be
    Play a song that I can sing
    Make me feel as I am free
    Someone come speak for me
    Someone come speak for me
    Someone come speak for me

    Now the cover of a Rolling Stone
