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
Cuz 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 ane 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 cuz I'd be such a big big 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 cuz I'm always all alone
Going crazy noone calls me on the phone
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
