I have a habit of laughing when I'm anxious
And it's been awful stressful waiting for the joke
We left the theater the way that we had got there
Slightly disappointed, bored, and broke
Couldn't tell you how long we waited
You were quiet till you finally said
Nobody looks like us on TV
If you know the way home, could you show me
Hollywood never loved me the way you do
They're exploiting our nostalgia
For a place that isn't real
For a place where everybody can be saved
Oh, where's the clutter
The sorry imperfections
Of those of us too tired to be brave
And can you hear the committee
Checking all the boxes
Pulling on our purses
By grabbing at our hearts
I'll leave graffiti
On the wall behind the Regal
Picture of Bob Iger
Saying here lies all we loved
It was fun
But now it's on and on and on
Nobody looks like us on TV
If you know the way home, could you show me
Hollywood never loved me the way you do
Nobody's wearing masks in movies
Never happened if it's not on the big screen
Hollywood never loved me the way you do
Sell us complete, but they'll never be done
In the back of the theater, wait to be loved
Here's my idea
A new extended universe
The one where we're the characters
And we make up the plot
Is that compelling
A fiction of our making
With all our tired aching on display
In every shot
So no more villains
No more superhero battles
Just our parties and our problems
Our credit score reports
And no more structure
No more formula or form
It's original what's more
It's not nostalgia as a last resort
Nobody looks like us
Nobody looks like us
Nobody looks like
Nobody looks like us
