Rockstar

I'm through with standing in line

to clubs we'll never get in

It's like the bottom of the ninth

and I'm never gonna win

This life hasn't turned out

quite the way I want it to be

 

I want a brand new house

on an episode of Cribs

And a bathroom I can play baseball in

And a king size tub big enough

for ten plus me

 

I'll need a credit card that's got no limit

And a big black jet with a bedroom in it

Gonna join the mile high club

At thirty-seven thousand feet

 

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars

My own star on Hollywood Boulevard

Somewhere between Cher and

James Dean is fine for me

 

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame

I'd even cut my hair and change my name

 

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars

And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

In the VIP with the movie stars

Every good gold digger's

Gonna wind up there

Every Playboy bunny

With her bleach blond hair

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

 

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels

Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes

Sign a couple autographs

So I can eat my meals for free

 

I'm gonna dress my ass

with the latest fashion

Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion

Gonna date a centerfold that loves to

blow my money for me

 

I'm gonna trade this life

For fortune and fame

I'd even cut my hair

And change my name

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars

And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

In the VIP with the movie stars

Every good gold digger's

Gonna wind up there

Every Playboy bunny

With her bleach blond hair

And we'll hide out in the private rooms

With the latest dictionary and

today's who's who

They'll get you anything

with that evil smile

Everybody's got a

drug dealer on speed dial

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

 

I'm gonna sing those songs

that offend the censors

Gonna pop my pills

from a pez dispenser

I'll get washed-up singers writing all my songs

Lip sync em every night so I don't get 'em wrong

 

Well we all just wanna be big rockstars

And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

In the VIP with the movie stars

Every good gold digger's

Gonna wind up there

Every Playboy bunny

With her bleach blond hair

And we'll hide out in the private rooms

With the latest dictionary and

today's who's who

They'll get you anything

with that evil smile

Everybody's got a

drug dealer on speed dial

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

Photograph

Look at this photograph

Every time I do it makes me laugh

How did our eyes get so red

And what the hell is on Joey's head?

This is where I grew up

I think the present owner fixed it up

I never knew we ever went without

The second floor is hard for sneakin out

And this is where I went to school

Most of the time had better things to do

Criminal record says I broke in twice

I must've done it half a dozen times

I wonder if it's too late

Should I go back and try to graduate?

Life's better now than it was back then

If I was them I wouldn't let me in

Oh, oh, oh...

Oh, God I...

Every memory of lookin out the back door

I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walkin out the front door

I found the photo of the friend that I was lookin for

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye

Remember the old arcade?

Blew every dollar that we ever made

The cops hated us hangin' out

They said somebody went and burned it down

We used to listen to the radio

And sing along with every song we know

We said someday we'd find out how it feels

To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim's the first girl I kissed

I was so nervous that I nearly missed

She's had a couple of kids since then

I haven't seen her since God knows when

Oh, oh, oh...

Oh, God I...

Every memory of lookin out the back door

I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walkin out the front door

I found the photo of the friend that I was lookin for

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye

I miss that town, I miss the faces

You can't erase, you can't replace it

I miss it now, I can't believe it

So hard to stay, too hard to leave it

If I could relive those days

I know the one thing that would never change

Every memory of lookin out the back door

I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walkin out the front door

I found the photo of the friend that I was lookin' for

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye

Look at this photograph

 

Every time I do it makes me laugh

Every time I do it makes me...

 

 

If everyone cared

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky

Confusing stars FOR satellites

I never dreamed that you'd be mine

But here we are, we're here tonight

 

Singing Amen I, I'm I'm alive (I'm alive)

Singing Amen I, I'm alive

If everyone cared and nobody cried

If everyone loved and nobody lied

If everyone shared and swallowed their pride

Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing

Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive

Amen I,Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive

And in the air the fireflies

Our only light in paradise

We'll show the world they were wrong

And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen I, I'm alive (I'm alive)

Singing Amen I, I'm alive

 

If everyone cared and nobody cried

If everyone loved and nobody lied

If everyone shared and swallowed their pride

Then we'd see the day when nobody died

If everyone cared and nobody cried

If everyone loved and nobody lied

If everyone shared and swallowed their pride

Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And as we lie beneath the stars

We realize how small we are

If they could love like you and me

Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried

If everyone loved and nobody lied

If everyone shared and swallowed their pride

Then we'd see the day when nobody died

If everyone cared and nobody cried

If everyone loved and nobody lied

If everyone shared and swallowed their pride

Then we'd see the day when nobody died

 

We'd see the day, we'd see the day

When nobody died

We'd see the day, we'd see the day

When nobody died

We'd see the day when nobody died

How you remind me

Never made it as a wise man

I couldn't cut it as

A poor man stealing

Tired of living like a blind man

I'm sick of sight without

A sense of feeling

And this is how you remind me

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry

I was waiting on a different story

This time I'm mistaken

For handing you

A heart worth breaking

I've been wrong

I've been down

Into the bottom of every bottle

These five words in my head

Scream

Are we having fun yet?

Yeah, yeah, yeah

No, no

Yeah, yeah, yeah

No, no

It's not like you didn't know that

I said I love you and

I swear I still do

And it must have been so bad

'Cause living with him must have

Damn near killed you

And this is how you remind me

Of what I really am

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry

I was waiting on a different story

This time I'm mistaken

For handing you

A heart worth breaking

And I've been wrong

I've been down

Into the bottom of every bottle

These five words in my head

Scream

Are we having fun yet?

Yeah, yeah, yeah

No, no

Yeah, yeah, yeah

No, no

Yeah, yeah, yeah

No, no

Yeah, yeah, yeah

No, no

Never made it as a wise man

I couldn't cut it as

A poor man stealing

And this is how you remind me

This is how you remind me

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry

I was waiting on a different story

This time I'm mistaken

For handing you

A heart worth breaking

And I've been wrong

I've been down

Into the bottom of every bottle

These five words in my head

Scream

Are we having fun yet?

Yeah, yeah

Are we having fun yet?

Yeah, yeah

Are we having fun yet?

Yeah, yeah

Are we having fun yet?

Yeah, yeah

No, no, no
