Someone's got to be the hero
|
Someone's got to do the job
|
Someone's got to do the business
|
Someone's got to be the fool
|
Someone's got to be the hero
|
Someone's got to do the job
|
Someone's got to be the clown who's creating the sound and makes the world go round

|
I'm a topstar, rock star, shooting star, falling star, hero and a sample success
|
I got gold-plated toilet tissue
|
Money never is an issue
|
TV people call me as their guest [Scatting]
|
I got low hangin' trousers all the way to the top
|
All the things a home boy could ever be
|
My life is so upgraded
|
My ego's so inflated
|
That I've become an X-rated fantasy (Yeah)

|
I'm the Captain of Charisma and the Sultan of the Soul
|
I'm looking I can set you all free
|
Just look at me, it's plain to see
|
It's obvious, you must agree
|
I'm everything you'll ever wanna be
|
I take my name as serious as any popstar can
|
I'ma leader and an icon and a revolution man
|
I'm starring in a video I'm to hot to flop
|
I'm the goal of every seeker and my ratings never drop
|

|
Well I'm rising to the top and you can see I'm really hot
|
And you know I'm everything I portray
|
I'm so hip-slickin' cool and so charismic as a rule
|
That I don't take the time to finish what I say
|
Popstar, lollipop, popsicle, hall of fame
|
Look at me, I'm bigger than life
|
I've got patent leather shoes and I never pay my booze
|
And I don't sing the blues or take a wife
|
Everthing you've heard me say so far is a joke
|
An open mind and sense of humour is our only hope
|
I want to say just one more thing before I move along
|
I betcha really glad we're near the end on the song
|
I leave you now, take a bow
|
Hope you all agree
|
A popstar isn't everything it's cracked up to be
|
If I have to do anything it's what I wanna say
|
A pop is an explosion, all you've got is you today
|

Someone's got to be the fool

Someone's got to be the hero
|
Someone's got to do the job
|
Someone's got to be the clown who's creating the sound and makes the world go round

Too hot to flop, too hot to flop (Just look at me)
|
Too hot to flop, too hot to flop (Yeah)
|
Too hot to flop, too hot to flop (Just look at me)
|
Too hot to flop, too hot to flop
