Life by Default

I remember what you told me
when we were growing up
how you were going to be the Christ of rock and roll
and all that glitter glamour stuff

you were never worried
what people thought of you
you once explained to me
that there was nothing you couldn't do

you're some where in your thirties now
but you don't look or act the same
you were drowning in your beer that night
you were playing someone else's game
where the glitter
where's the glory
what's the theme behind your story
