Lyrics

[00:00.45] I'm through with standing in line to clubs I'll never get in
[00:04.02] It's like the bottom of the ninth, and I'm never gonna win
[00:07.60] This life hasn't turned out quite the way I want it to be
[00:11.95] (Tell me what you want)
[00:14.01] I want a brand new house on an episode of Cribs
[00:17.47] And a bathroom I can play baseball in
[00:20.81] And a king-size tub, big enough for ten plus me
[00:25.66] (Uh, so what you need?)
[00:27.68] I'll need a credit card that's got no limit
[00:31.19] And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
[00:34.47] Gonna join the mile high club at 37,000 feet
[00:38.50] (Been there, done that)
[00:40.73] I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
[00:44.01] My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
[00:47.51] Somewhere between Cher and James Dean is fine for me
[00:51.58] (So how you gonna do it?)
[00:54.00] I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
[00:57.65] I'd even cut my hair and changed my name
[01:01.15] 'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
[01:04.15] And live in hilltop houses, driving 15 cars
[01:07.45] The girls come easy, and the drugs come cheap
[01:11.38] We'll all stay skinny, 'cause we just won't eat
[01:14.82] And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
[01:17.22] In the V.I.P. with the movie stars
[01:21.74] Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
[01:25.38] Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair and, well
[01:28.23] Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
[01:34.90] Hmm, hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
[01:40.42] I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
[01:44.33] Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
[01:47.78] Sign a couple autographs, so I can eat my meals for free
[01:51.67] (I'll have the quesadilla, haha!)
[01:54.15] I'm gonna dress my ass with the latest fashion
[01:57.69] Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
[02:00.83] Gonna date a centerfold that loves to blow my money for me
[02:04.87] (So how you gonna do it?)
[02:07.46] I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
[02:12.15] I'd even cut my hair and changed my name
[02:14.33] 'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
[02:20.46] And live in hilltop houses, driving 15 cars
[02:21.34] The girls come easy, and the drugs come cheap
[02:23.80] We'll all stay skinny, 'cause we just won't eat
[02:27.36] And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
[02:31.27] In the V.I.P. with the movie stars
[02:34.01] Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
[02:39.58] Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair
[02:40.96] And we'll hide out in the private rooms
[02:43.51] With the latest dictionary, and today's who's who
[02:47.23] They'll get you anything with that evil smile
[02:51.01] Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial, well
[02:54.47] Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
[03:01.29] I'm gonna sing those songs that offend the censors
[03:04.19] Gonna pop my pills from a Pez dispenser
[03:07.69] I'll get washed-up singers writing all my songs
[03:10.72] Lip sync 'em every night, so I don't get 'em wrong
[03:16.13] Well, we all just wanna be big rockstars
[03:19.18] And live in hilltop houses, driving 15 cars
[03:22.55] The girls come easy, and the drugs come cheap
[03:25.64] We'll all stay skinny, 'cause we just won't eat
[03:29.20] And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
[03:32.39] In the V.I.P. with the movie stars
[03:35.82] Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
[03:39.18] Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair
[03:42.95] And we'll hide out in the private rooms
[03:45.72] With the latest dictionary, and today's who's who
[03:49.01] They'll get you anything with that evil smile
[03:52.72] Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial, well
[03:56.39] Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
[04:03.27] Hmm, hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
[04:07.05]
