Tommy can they hear you? You're the poster child Give them all a fading smile Entertain the notion You can't go outside Failure is around the corner And you want to talk it over None of it's enough Everyone's too much You're sounding out the dollars Anyone can smile Anyone Seven empty futures Twenty-four goodbyes Empty backstage full of people And it's all bullshit Your words seem to say nothing (nothing) Try to recall ambition that brought you here Remember when (remember when, remember when) Where has it gone You wanted to roll the dice Anyone can choose Anyone can lose Sounding Standing in the overwhelming Anyone can act Anyone (anyone) Those nameless faces leave you estranged The city changes They stay the same Everyone is waiting for the day you fail Tommy can they hear you?
