Story Behind The Song
Peer pressure is at the heart of this story. Following the herd with no origibnal thought. Alwas searching for your messiah to show you the way instead of exloring yourself. This guys lost.
Song Description
This guy is obviously desperate but, you can find him everywhere. He's looking for what he was promised as a child, excitement, success, an easy cure to his boredom and loss of direction. That's what I heard is his only claim of knowing anything to be true. He beleives whatever is written and in the media.

Lyrics
5 a.m. at the station
barely dressed but, excited, my ticket in hand
I?m chasing a promise from the back of a magazine
I climb onto my bus and
I look out through the window and say my good-byes
I?m well on my way to finding a better me
(climb)
I left in a hurry here
I didn?t even make the bed
There?s someone in Malibu
That can make my life be good
(Chorus)
That?s what I heard
All my friends say it?s crazy
I got 5 testimonies saying it?s true
They say you?ll make a million and I swallow every line.. and so it reads:
Do you wake feeling tired?
Come home feeling lonely? This is your lucky day
Your hair will grow back for $48.99!
(climb #2)
I say to the woman there
I have found the fountain of youth
She says now how can that be?
I say without the blink of an eye
(Chorus)
(climb)
On Skinny?s plan, in just one week, you will be thin
Your perfect match is waiting for you overseas
Ooo That?s what I heard
