special

Shinedown

Hurry up before you go and get old
Hurry up before your blood runs cold
None of us were ever meant to stay
We re all gonna find out one day

You see life s too short to run it like a race
So it s never gonna matter if you win first place
Cause we re all the same

Stop waitin on your fifteen minutes of fame, cause you re not special
I m not tryin to rain on your parade, but you re not special
I m not tryin to bring you down, I m not tryin to sound so ineffectual
But you re not special

Hurry up before the bottle kicks in
Before the poison and the pain sets in (Get up, get up)
If you take it down a notch and you let me explain
That on this earth we are all the same

And all I can say is

Stop waitin on your fifteen minutes of fame, cause you re not special
I m not tryin to rain on your parade, but you re not special
I m not tryin to bring you down, I m not tryin to sound so ineffectual
Cause you re not special

We all live to love, we all fall apart
We d all go to war for the faint of heart
Instead we re condescending
There are no happy endings
I won t hold my breath, I won t cast a doubt
I d never sell you out
But I ll give you one last chance to own it
Cause you re not a god or a poet, so

Stop waitin on your fifteen minutes of fame, cause you re not special
I m not tryin to rain on your parade, but you re not special
I m not tryin to bring you down, I m not tryin to sound so ineffectual
But you re not special

(Get up, get up, get a move on)
(Get up, get up, ain t nothin wrong) But you re not special
(Get up, get up, get a move on)
(Stop stallin , I m callin out) But you re not special
Cause you re not special
Cause you re not special
