Cold War Kids – Ordinary Idols lyrics
I spiral down again
Such a struggle just to keep an ordinary love
Ain't got the time for friends
Why am I working so hard and barely keeping up?

Who remains when you drop?
Who do you call when it stops?
I spiral down again
Somebody protect me or I'm gone

Why would you idolize me?
There's nothing I got that you don't
You keep on fantasizing
I'll always be the underdog
Give me more, give me more
I'm the one that you ignore
Give me more, give me more
I'm the one that you ignore

Where'd you find your confidence?
Are you willing to make a fool out of yourself?
It's curse of common sense
We all wanna be something different, someone else

You become what you watch
What I love can't be taught
Imitation is not a sin
You're only guilty if you're caught

Why would you idolize me?
There's nothing I got that you don't
You keep on fantasizing
I'll always be the underdog
Give me more, give me more
I'm the one that you ignore
Give me more, give me more
I'm the one that you ignore

This city's made for dreamers
It's like the Garden of Eden
Before the apple leading
You're just sleeping
Drink and play all day
But you won't ever fall in love
No, you won't ever lift it up
You just wanna fall in love
No, you won't ever fall in love

Why would you idolize me?
There's nothing I got that you don't
Obsessing and fantasizing
I'll always be the underdog
Give me more, give me more
Give me more, give me more, give me more
I'm the one that you ignore
