Neil Cicierega
Being a Rock Star
[Verse 1]
As we do our thing, try to keep control
Careful what we sing
Rock and roll is everything to everybody that you've ever met
Dirty socks and all
If I ever make it to the top, I really hope I don't forget
No one cares how tall I feel at all
[Chorus]
If I ever write any songs about being a rock star
Slap me please, all right? That ain't me
[Verse 2]
I've got more to say, I'm sticking to my guns
Let the big boys play
They're the ones that wanted to become the very image they create
Now that's all they are
They're the ones with nothing but a lifestyle to which no one can relate
But they play guitar, don't you see how damn cool they are?
Oh no! They take it too far
Now all the greatest love songs
Are secretly about heroin
[Chorus]
If I ever write any songs about being a rock star
Slap me please, all right? That ain't me
[Outro]
La la la dee dah, la la la dee dah
La la la dee dah, la dee dah dah
Dah dah da-da dah dah da-da
Dah dah da-da dah
La la la la la, la la
