Rockstar by The Wurzels Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
(Tell me what you want)
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
(So what you need?)
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
(Been there, done, ain't done that)
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on the Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and James Dean is fine for me
(So how you gonna do that?)
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name
[Chorus]
'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
But I'll 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 bleached blond hair
Hey, hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey I wanna be a rockstar, yeah
[Verse 2]
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 centrefold that loves to blow my money for me
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name
[Chorus]
'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
But I'll 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 bleached 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, yeah
[Bridge]
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 wrong them get
Uh, get them wrong
Oh never mind
[Chorus]
Well, we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and they drugs is cheap
We'll all stay skinny, and 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 bleached 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, well
Hey, hey I wanna be a rockstar, yeah
Hey, hey I wanna be a 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
