Lyrics
Rock Star
© 2005 Monica Driscoll and Brett Ratner
V1.
Ever since I was young I remember it well
I?d remember what they?d say
Teachers at my school would just love to remind me
That there would come a day
When I would have to grow up when I would have to change
Or else I?d lose my way
Ch.
But I don?t wanna go to work
I don?t wanna go to school
I don?t wanna know those rules
I just wanna be a rock star
Cuz rock stars live in the sky
V2.
Now that I?m not so young now that I?m all the rage
Teachers coming to my shows
Singing all of my songs crowding up by the stage
Copy me on all my clothes
They say they always knew there would come a day
When I would find my way
Ch.
Br.
Why is that so wrong
Why is it so wrong
Oh tell me why is it so wrong
I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me
Ch.
