Oh...don't you want to be a star... oh... oh
Oh...don't you want to be a star... oh... oh


Oh pretty young one writing the rules in your own hand
soon to be old one losing teeth
from eating sand






Oh...don't you want to be a star oh oh
Oh...don't you want to be a star oh oh

National pastime it's what you do not who you are
Now you can pay for someone else to drive your car







Shake your moneymaker
Live your life living other people's dreams
Paint your canvas empty
Making more out of less than what it seems







More of the flash
More of the cash
More of the drama

More of the smile
More of the style
More of the scene




When you wake up dead dear
I'll be glad it's you not me

Not me
Not me

Oh...don't you want to be a star... oh.... oh
Oh...don't you want to be a star... oh... oh





Everyone knows you better than you know yourself
Sacrifice everything you are
Be someone else

This year in the top drawer
Looking up is the only way to climb
Next year you're on the shelf dear
and the slow decline






None of the flash
None of the cash
None of the drama

None of the smile
None of the style
None of the scene

When you wake up dead dear
I'll be glad it's you not me





Not me
Not me
Not me

Oh...don't you want to be a star... oh... oh
Oh...don't you want to be a star... oh... oh
