Innocent Lyrics

Oh, Johnny wishes he was famous
Spends his time alone in the basement
With Lennon and Cobain and
A guitar and a stereo

While he wishes he could escape this
But it all seems so contagious
Not to be yourself and faceless
In a song that has no soul

I remember feeling low
I remember losing hope
And I remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped

We are we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are we are

We are we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are we are

Oh, Tina's losing faith in what she knows
Hates her music, hates all of her clothes
Thinks of surgery and a new nose
Every calorie is a war

And while she wishes she was a dancer
And that she'd never heard of cancer
She wishes God would give her some answers
And make her feel beautiful

I remember feeling low
I remember losing hope
I remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped

We are we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are we are

We are we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are we are

One day
You'll have to let it go
You'll have to let it go, no
One day
You'll stand up on your own
You'll stand up on your own, yeah

Remember losing hope
Remember feeling low
Remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped

We are we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are we are

We are we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are we are

One day (We are we are all innocent)
You'll have to let it go (We are all innocent)
You'll have to let it go, no (We are we are)
One day (We are we are all innocent)
You'll stand up on your own (We are all innocent)
You'll stand up on your own, yeah

We are we are all innocent
