Rock Star
[Verse 1]
Hey, mister Rock Star
Are you as big as you seem?
Will it all fall tomorrow
Or is the whole thing a dream, rock star
Oh yes, you run around in your limousine
Feeding on good cuisine
You built yourself up
With all those in loafers, and chauffeurs
But can you tell me...

[Chorus]
Rock star, do you know who you really are?
Rock star, we know who you are
Rock star, do you know who you really are?
Rock star, we know who you are

[Verse 2]
I don't wanna say what you ought to give
And I don't wanna say where you ought to live, rock star
Please don't believe your neighbors
As they pat you on your back
They don't really love you, and that's a fact
Hey rock star, you're famous now
But it's only a short trip
Don't trip, don't get too hip, rock star
'Cause when you slip, you'll have to go back home
[Chorus]
Rock star, do you know who you really are?
Rock star, we know who you are
Rock star, do you know who you really are?
Rock star, we know who you are

[Verse 3]
Now you're living in Malibu, you think you've got it all
Spending your time and cash at the mall
Watching Magic play basketball
Soothing your pain with alcohol
Hey rock star, you better beware... of your downfall, yeah
Hey rock star, don't get too bizarre
Remember who you really are
If you puff on that big cigar
Cruising in your big white car
Careful now, 'cause tomorrow
You just might not be a superstar

[Chorus]
Rock star, do you know who you really are?
Rock star, we know who you are
Rock star, do you know who you really are?
Rock star, we know who you are

[Vamp]
Living in Malibu, next to the movie stars
Living in Malibu, they know who you are
Rock star, rock star, do you know who you are?
Living in Malibu (oh yeah), next to the movie stars
Rock star, rock star, when are you coming home?
Rock star, rock star, you've got to come back home
[Outro]
Rock, rock, rock star, rock and roll star
Skipping and sliding, dipping and diving
Rock star, do you know who you are?
Rock, rock, rock star, rock and roll star
Spending time and cash at the mall
Soothe your pain with alcohol
Rock, rock, rock star, rock and roll star
Hey rock star, hey rock star, aww
Rock, rock, rock star, rock and roll star
Wait a minute, rock star
Ooh, keep on riding around in your big Mercedes
Trying your luck with all your ladies
Rock star, don't you know you need to get with it
And start taking care of your lady...
