Rock Star Man
Bif Naked Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He phones to yak and wack wack wack,
This irritating boy
Step on a crack to break his back,
For he brings to me no joy
He speaks too long
I reply in tongues he doesn't understand

Can he not see I must be free,
For me he's not the man?
Dissatisfied, I hear his lies
And reply candidly,




"Please, rock star man, change all your plans,
And please stop phoning me!"
