Story Behind The Song
I won't sell my soul for success. I won't worship the Losing Side and tattoo and pierce myself all over and act Evil to get attention. But I do want to Rock n Roll. People just go too far and the weirder it is (mmanson, eim n eim etc) the more people go for it. But they just threw their lives away for money and sold out to the darkness. too bad fools. Not this boy
Song Description
People will sing my songs in their cars, at the bars. I guess I'll have to dye my hair and pierce my self and look really strange. I never seen anything quite as strange as a Rock Star. But I really don't want to Become Evil to achieve success so I just play in my room at home and Pretend I'm the rock star.

Lyrics
ROCKSTAR
verse 1
I wanna? be a rockstar, people love you when you are
Play your songs driving in their car, pretending they?re the rockstar
I guess I?m gonna have to dye my hair, and act like purple?s natural there
And all I want is for you to stare, at the rockstar
chorus
Money, fortune, women, fame
I want everybody to know my name
Being different, that?s the game
I never seen anything quite as strange as a rockstar, a rockstar
verse2
I wanna? be a rockstar, people love you when you are
Play your songs in every bar, pretending they?re the rockstar
I guess I?m gonna have to pierce my ear, now is it the left or the right that?s so weird
And all that make up for the eyes, rockstars are such strange guys
repeat chorus
bridge
Come on take a ride in the back of my limousine
Hey girl, I?m the best thing that you?ve ever seen
Don?t ya? wanna? know what it is that makes you scream
verse 3
I wanna? be a rockstar, people love you when you are
Come to see you from near and far, you?re the rockstar
But there?s a lot of things that I won?t do, and I?m not eating that goat head soup
So I sit here in my lonely room, pretending I?m the rockstar, ha ha ha, rockstar
musical interlude
verse - ending
I wanna? be a rockstar, people love you when you are....
