Former Child Actor Songtext
von Corey Feldman

I′ve been boxed in
Locked out, shut down
I want so much more

You can't see me
You can′t free me
I am just your whore

I watch the faces turn away
The work I do is all in vain
I look around for someone to blame, blame

I could've been great, could've been a contender
But now I can′t do shit ′cause I'm a former child actor
My message is strength and that should be a factor
But no one gives a crap ′cause I'm a former child actor
The war I will wage is like a nuclear reactor
But the headlines still reads, "He′s just a former child actor"
And even though that don't mean shit to you
I still gotta sleep with me


Teenage heartthrob
Life-long worst job
Don′t believe the hype

Don't speak, play ball
Dress nice, stay small
I am not the type

The boulevard of broken dreams was the address given to me
I've packed my bags long to be free, free

The label is set, should′ve put a tag there
My birth certificate, it reads former child actor
I hear you loud and clear, you better get a gag dead
No one wants to hear a word from former child actors
No one likes spite and I don′t mean to be bitter
But what did you expect? I'm just a former child actor
And even though that don′t mean shit to you
I still gotta drink your pee

I could've been great, could′ve been a contender
But now I can't do shit ′cause I'm a former child actor
My message is strength and that should be a factor
But no one gives a crap 'cause I′m a former child actor
The war I will wage is like a nuclear reactor
But the headlines still reads, "He′s just a former child actor"


The label is set, should've put a tag there
On my birth certificate, it reads former child actor
I hear you loud and clear, you better get a gag dude
No one wants to hear a word from former child actors
No one likes spite and I don′t mean to be bitter
But what did you expect? I'm just a former child actor
And even though that don′t mean shit to you
I still got to live with me

Thank you
Thank you very much
Oh, you're too kind, you′re too kind
I'll be here all week, come back and see us
