ROCKSTAR
Nickelback Lyrics

I'm through with standing in line
I'm tired of waiting for things to happen in my life

To clubs I'll never get in
I want to be part of a social scene that I feel excluded from

It's like the bottom of the ninth
I feel like I'm running out of opportunities to make it big

And I'm never gonna win
I feel defeated and unable to achieve my goals

This life hasn't turned out
My current situation is not what I had hoped for

Quite the way I want it to be
I am not satisfied with my current life

Tell me what you want
I am asking for guidance on how to achieve my dreams

I want a brand new house
I want to upgrade my living situation significantly

On an episode of Cribs
I want my home to be featured on a popular MTV show

And a bathroom I can play baseball in
I want a luxurious and spacious bathroom to enjoy

And a king size tub big enough for ten plus me
I want a massive hot tub to relax in with friends and loved ones

Ah, so what you need?
Someone is asking me what else I am seeking in my ideal life

I'll need a credit card that's got no limit
I want unlimited financial freedom

And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
I want luxury and convenience when traveling

Gonna join the mile high club
I want to experience a sexual thrill on a private jet

At thirty-seven thousand feet
I want to reach new heights of indulgence

Been there, done that
I've already experienced this and want something new

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
I want to travel in style while fulfilling my creative passions

My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
I want to be famous and recognized for my accomplishments

Somewhere between Cher and James Dean is fine for me
I want a level of fame that is neither too low nor too high

So how you gonna do it?
Someone is asking me how I plan to achieve my goals

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I am willing to make drastic changes in my life to achieve my dreams

I'd even cut my hair and change my name
I am willing to make significant sacrifices to become a rockstar

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
My desire to become a rockstar is shared by many others

And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
I want to have a luxurious and opulent lifestyle

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
I want a life of ease and pleasure, with women and substance readily available

We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
I am willing to sacrifice my health to maintain a certain image

And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
I want to be part of a fashionable and exclusive social scene

In the VIP with the movie stars
I want to be part of a social circle that includes famous and influential people

Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
I expect to attract people who are only interested in my wealth and status

Every Playboy bunny in her bleach blond hair, and we'll
I will be surrounded by beautiful and sexually desirable women

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar, oh
I am expressing my intense desire to become a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
I want to be legendary and iconic like Elvis Presley, but without certain elements of his style

Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
I want protection and security, even if it means using violence

Sign a couple autographs so I can eat my meals for free
I want to leverage my fame for personal gain, even if it means giving away something as small as an autograph

(I'll have the quesadilla)
I am choosing a low-key and unpretentious option for my meal

I'm gonna dress my ass
I want to present myself in a stylish and fashionable way

With the latest fashion
I want to stay current and up-to-date with fashion trends

Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
I want unlimited access to a high-end social scene

Gonna date a centerfold that loves to blow my money for me
I want a beautiful and popular woman who will spend my money and further enhance my reputation

(Does this make me look fat?)
I am insecure about my appearance and seeking validation from others

I'm gonna sing those songs
I want to express myself creatively and entertain others

That offend the censors
I want to push boundaries and challenge societal norms

Gonna pop my pills
I want to indulge in drugs for pleasure and escape

From a Pez dispenser
I want to make drug use easy and carefree

Get washed-up singers writing all my songs
I want to rely on the talent of others to craft my music

Lip sync 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong
I want to put on a flawless performance without actually singing live

Well, we all just wanna be big rockstars
I am reiterating the universal desire to become a successful musician

And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
I want to have a luxurious and opulent lifestyle

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
I want a life of ease and pleasure, with women and substance readily available

We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
I am willing to sacrifice my health to maintain a certain image

And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
I want to be part of a fashionable and exclusive social scene

In the VIP with the movie stars
I want to be part of a social circle that includes famous and influential people

Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
I expect to attract people who are only interested in my wealth and status

Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair
I will be surrounded by beautiful and sexually desirable women

And we'll hide out in the private rooms
I want to avoid the public eye and indulge in luxury privately

With the latest dictionary and today's who's who
I want to stay informed and educated about current events and social happenings

They'll get you anything with that evil smile
I understand that money and fame can give me access to almost anything, and some people will be willing to help me out of self-interest

Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial, well
I acknowledge the prevalence of drug use and the ease with which they can be obtained in certain social circles

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
I am expressing my intense desire to become a rockstar
