D.Ford - False Idols [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

You want a hero I can play the part
You're not getting money if you pay to park
Haven't made it far, but I made a start
Cuz I'm attending school that's state of the art
Kid's talk about how they're looking up to me
Saying that they're living vicariously through me
But.. if they really knew me
They'd be asking who's the true me
I'm not the right guy to be a role model
They should go back to the old model
I hope their expectations don't get toppled
But the truth is getting bottled
I mean I don’t get good grades or good pay
And I've done things that I shouldn't say
But I'm still me at the end of the day
I mean they've made an image
To me it's just a gimmick
I've been put on the spot light and it won't diminish
I've had my 15 minutes that I never deserved
Yet I'm never the worst kid to be raised since birth
So I want to send a positive message
Make sure they pass life's lessons
So they get all of their credits
Maybe they learn from my mistakes
But how many mistakes does it really take?
I wonder how many of these kids will be real and who will be fake
I know all of them has what it takes to be really great
