lyrics

ROCKSTAR

Rockstar, wooooah!
I'm a Rockstar, wooooah!
High notes, bank notes,
lobster, Florida snow,
coz the mobsters still run the show.

Rockstar, I'm on a roll:
big deals, high heels,
I clock'd ya in the front row,
you're on the roster after the show!

Rockstar!
A living legend!
On permanent vacation
and special medication, higher than the sun...

Rockstar, he sold his soul
for the cover of Rolling Stone.
Headlines, white lines,
my doctor, God bless his soul
helicoptered from Mexico!

Rockstar!
I'm big in Thailand!
I bought my own asylum,
a castle in the highlands,
an island in the sun...

Rockstar,, well what d'ya know?!
He's a Rockstar?! When's your next show?
Sold out, burnt out,
you lost it 10 years ago,
then they dropped ya coz you're too slow!

Rockstar!
Under sedation,
defined a generation,
now you're my private patient,
we're gonna have some fun...

Rockstar!
Eat your crumble!
The words are being mumbled,
you've had your final fumble,
you know the kids moved on...

Rockstar! Ho ho ho ho...
A Rockstar! Well what d'ya know?!
Rockstar! We'll let you know...
Rockstar! We'll let you know....
