Shinedown – special lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hurry up before you go and get old
Hurry up before your blood runs cold
None of us were ever meant to stay
We're all gonna find out one day

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You see life's too short to run it like a race
So it's never gonna matter if you win first place
'Cause we're all the same

[Chorus]
Stop waitin' on your fifteen minutes of fame, 'cause you're not special
I'm not tryin' to rain on your parade, but you're not special
I'm not tryin' to bring you down, I'm not tryin' to sound so ineffectual
But you're not special

[Verse 2]
Hurry up before the bottle kicks in
Before the poison and the pain sets in (Get up, get up)
If you take it down a notch and you let me explain
That on this earth we are all the same

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And all I can say is...

[Chorus]
Stop waitin' on your fifteen minutes of fame, 'cause you're not special
I'm not tryin' to rain on your parade, but you're not special
I'm not tryin' to bring you down, I'm not tryin' to sound so ineffectual
'Cause you're not special

[Bridge]
We all live to love, we all fall apart
We'd all go to war for the faint of heart
Instead we're condescending
There are no happy endings
I won't hold my breath, I won't cast a doubt
I'd never sell you out
But I'll give you one last chance to own it
'Cause you're not a god or a poet, so...

[Chorus]
Stop waitin' on your fifteen minutes of fame, 'cause you're not special
I'm not tryin' to rain on your parade, but you're not special
I'm not tryin' to bring you down, I'm not tryin' to sound so ineffectual
But you're not special

[Outro]
(Get up, get up, get a move on)
(Get up, get up, ain't nothin' wrong) But you're not special
(Get up, get up, get a move on)
(Stop stallin', I'm callin' out) But you're not special
'Cause you're not special
'Cause you're not special
