Why is it all these fakers
|
Seem to make the morning papers?
|
They're selling records by the million, seems so easy in my opinion
|
Look at the Jazz Star, he really needs some guts
|
Playing from seven to midnight, surviving on peanuts
|
Selling records by the dozen
|
Probably sold his tenor to make 'em
|
With artwork designed by his brother
|
And liner notes by his mother
|
|
Told what to do, miming to a tape
|
While a team of experts make sure you're looking great
|
Taking a limo to your own private bar
|
My God! I want to be a popstar!
|
|
Going to get on the T.V and go on dates with only the pretty
|
Maybe next year I'll pretend to be gay
|
I'll sell some more records in a flash that way
|
Makes no difference if i look like a nut
|
Every kid in the world is going to copy my haircut
|
I'll advertise some trainers, maybe even a car
|
Shrewd product placement will gurantee I'm a star
|
An ugly guy will write my songs
|
Surley there is nothing wrong
|
Retiring when I'm 22
|
With a house a car and nothing to do
|
|
Instantaneous satisfaction it will be
|
Got no need for artistic credibility
|
With this attitude I'm pretty sure to go far
|
My God! I want to be a popstar!
|
|
Maybe its too easy, to move so quickly so far
|
I want to be a popstar!
|
|
Where's the middle ground?
|
It's hard to make a living with you own true sound
|
What road am I going to tread?
|
What the hell would i do instead?
|
|
There may be no tours in Roma, or a drug-induced designer coma
|
No teenage girls when show is over, I prefer my women older
|
Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about
|
Sometimes it would be nice to play a place and sell out
|
Driving to a gig in my brand new sports car
|
My God! I want to be a popstar!
|
I want to be a popstar!
|
|
Maybe its too easy, to move so quickly so far
|
Who wants to be a popstar?
