lyrics

What’s the meaning of this dream you had
And what’s a boy like me to do
I feel there’s a moral to this story
But what I really want to know is
What's So Funny 'Bout a Fake James Bond?

When the world is spinning off the shelf
And no one wants to take the blame
There’s no time to worry
I’m just busy taking care of myself so
What's So Funny 'Bout a Fake James Bond?

He’s not jumping off of buildings he’s not in a fancy car
He’s not talking to a girl or sitting at the bar
And he’s actually quite handsome if you’re looking from afar
With his cuff links and his cologne you might mistake him for a star

What’s the point of what we’re saying
No one listens anymore
I've got my sleeves rolled up
But nothing’s coming my way so
What's So Funny 'Bout a Fake James Bond?

Everyone’s looking for someone to take the fall
The hero’s doomed from the first call
No knee jerk reaction just some kind of action so
What's So Funny 'Bout a Fake James Bond?

He’s not jumping off of buildings he’s not in a fancy car
He’s not talking to a girl or sitting at the bar
And he’s actually quite handsome if you’re looking from afar
With his cuff links and his cologne you might mistake him for a star
