when the credits roll

i've played the rebel teenager

the mysterious stranger

the wild child on the run

i've been the college dropout

the commitment cop out

the comin' home prodigal son

it feels kinda like a movie

makes me wonder what i'm gonna see

when the credits roll and the show is over

and i see all the parts i played

get a glimpse of my soul up on that screen

i only hope i can say

i was a little less villain

and a little more hero

when the credits roll

was i in it for the money

was i trying' to be funny

was it all about me being right

was i a stand up witness

did i offer some forgiveness

help somebody see the light

when the curtain comes down some day

i wonder what the crtic'll say
