Look around outside
Ain't nothing to do but hang around
Think about all the stupid things that i've done
I guess i ain't nothin' but a clown


If i had a wish, i swear i'd wish, i'd wish for just one thing
And i don't even like to think about all the things my wish'd bring


'cause i just wanna be james dean
I just wanna be james dean
I just wanna be james dean
For a day


I wanna be oversexed and underworked and look at me i'm such a jerk

And i just wanna be james dean
For a day


Think about stories of the actors and the movies stars
Sittin' here watchin' the old men drinkin' at the bar
I think about dean and all the things he should've tried
I think about dean and all the ways he could've died
Yeah died¡­


And i wouldn't give a shit about anything 'cause i'd be such a big movie star
And that don't really do me much good just cryin' at the bar


But i just wanna be james dean
I just wanna be james dean
I just wanna be james dean
For a day


See but i'm overworked and undersexed and look at me i'm such a wreck

And i just wanna be james dean
For a day


Going crazy 'cause i'm always all alone
Going crazy no one calls me on the phone
I think about dean and i know dean he wouldn't care
If i was dean i know there'd be somebody there
Yeah there'd be somebody there
For me¡­


Yeah i think about all the really cool things i could do and say
Then you go and tell me that you found out dean was gay


No, i don't wanna be james dean
I don't wanna be james dean
I don't wanna be james dean
Anymore ¡­
Hmmm¡­
