lyrics

i wanna be overrated
want you sick of seeing my face
i wanna see you roll your eyes when your friends say
i got out of this place
i want my name to taste sour
i wanna be truly hated
by someone other than myself
i wanna be overrated

i wanna claim that i've got the blueprint
something the world's never seen
i wanna say i'm dating steven tyler
and have someone believe me

i wanna fake it til i make it
and when i do, blow it up the wall
wanna win an award, say it's my dream
and then miss the call

i wanna be overrated
want you to see my face on screen
i wanna be the most hideous thing
that you have ever seen
i want my name to taste sour
i wanna be truly hated
by someone other than myself
i wanna be overrated

i wanna make dj requests
knowing that they'll play them
i wanna answer to a catcall
tell him he's overcompensating

i wanna be obnoxious
have nothing to believe in
switch it up and turn to god
just when you start to find me boring

i wanna be overrated
want you to see me on the internet
have your family ask how i am
and deny that we ever met
i want my name to taste sour
i wanna be truly hated
by someone other than myself
i wanna be overrated

i wanna be the life and soul but know when to stop
i wanna have a team of publicists who tell me when i'm wrong
wanna walk out of my job and still get paid
preach about self-worth like i ever had any

i wanna be overrated
want you to see my success
and think it's exaggerated
cause how could anyone be impressed
by a girl you hate to remember
who you were ashamed you ever dated
who you messed up so much
that she wants to be overrated
