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 to you down
I'm not tryin' to sound so inaffectual
But you're not special

Hurry up before the bottle kicks in
Before the poison and the pain sets in
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 to you down
I'm not tryin' to sound so inaffectual
'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 to 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
But you're not special
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Just know that, just know that
But you're not special

'Cause you're not special
'Cause you're not special
