Lyrics

So you wanna be a pop star?
You can start by lowering the bar
Get some platinum white teeth an industry thief
you might go far

So you wanna be a pop star?
Were you under-loved? attention starved?
Mommy out at the club? Daddy drunk at the pub?
All of the above?

Well I guess it's alright
We all love those rags to riches stories opening night
So turn it on star and never turn it off while we're still tuned-in to your show
In which case, we'll let you know...

That you're a pop star
A consumer good like food or cars
You?re a mutual fund you're diversified son
Safe for everyone

So you wanna be a pop star?
Well I'm more tempted as I write this song
Can't we all get along, we'll have fun at the beach
Here's my acceptancy speech

Put together your hands
For my producer and songwriter and of course the fans
Oh, but give it up star
Cause you don't play yourself, like John Wayne in some western town
In fact it kind of sounds?

Like you?re a pop star.
Congratulations how you've hit the charts
A debut in top ten, will they come back again?
Take the money and run

So you wanna be a pop star?
You'll have to follow trends and work the crowd
Get a pitch for the biz
Guess it is what it is
Are you still with me now?

Did I mentions the fans?
Heaps of heaving teens are diving to land at your feet
So give it up star
You'll be christ without agendas
And a smaller part
What do you think so far?

You wanna be a pop star?
