Lyrics
I don't wanna be a star no more
I'm sick of all the money and the adulation
& Sex with perfect women equals aggravation
I'm seeking a more meek and humble occupation
I don't wanna be a star no more
I don't wanna be a star no more
I'm tired of all the comforts of a life of bliss
My ass is getting sore as hell from being kissed
Living check to check is what I really miss
I don't wanna be a star no more
I don't wanna be a star no more
My decorator never tells me what I've spent
My surgeon has my face so tight it makes me squint
The candidates I back are never president
I don't wanna be a star no more
And those paparazzi blind me with their cruel cruel lights
And my agent/nazi can be so impolite
I don't wanna be a star no more
It's hard to cash a check that has so many zeros
I'm tired of sharing all my chicks with Bob Deniro
So few can know the lonely life of a hero
If I could I would be a maintenance engineer, oh...
I don't wanna be a star no more
I don't wanna be a star no more
I don't wanna be a star no more
