I'm through with standin in lines
to clubs I'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
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
I 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
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and
James Dean is fine for me
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
Livin in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And I'll hang out in the coolest bars
with the VIP's with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
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 centerfold that loves to
blow my money for me
I'm gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair
And change my name
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
Livin in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
Well I'll stay skinny 'cause I just won't eat
And I'll hang out in the coolest bars
with the VIP's and the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary of
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
I'm gonna sing those songs
that offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills
from a pez dispenser
Get washed-up singers writing all my songs
then lipsynk 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong
Well we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
with the VIP's with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary of
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
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
isn't it really weird that of all the songs that could make a person cry...this would be it. I so just had memories of what Carlos always said...how fame isn't that great. To quote him "fuck man, I had it all....then I lost it all to live the life i thought i wanted. I had a wife and a kids...but i lost them to my music. I was on tour 9/12 months a year and my kids didnt have a dad and my wife didn't have a husband. But i had it all. I had the drugs the girls, fuck I felt like I was somebody. I had groupies, people giving me free drugs and free shit...I was doing lines of coke off of girls tits in every hotel room of every town just for fun. You just can't live like that forever...you can't have it all. I fucked up, and in the end i lost it all. My wife wants a divorce and I'm a fucking crackhead. my bands done with because you only last so long without selling out. My kids never had a dad and I can't just start being one all the sudden....but would i go back and change it? HELL NO. it was fun as FUCK. But it was FUCKED UP and it doesn't last man." michael starts crying "well what the FUCK am i doing it for man? why do i keep waking up and making music if you're telling me its not ever gonna be what i want?"
Charity got arrested today.
but we all just wanna be big rockstars.
