Stars In Their Eyes
Just Jack Lyrics

They'll be making sure you stay amused
The people around you will make sure that you're entertained

They'll fill you up with drugs and booze
They'll get you drunk and high

Maybe you'll make the evenin' news
You might become famous overnight

And when you're trippin' over your dreams
When you're chasing your dreams

They'll keep you down by any means
They'll do whatever it takes to keep you grounded

By the end of the night, You'll be stiflin' your screams
You'll feel trapped

Since you became a V.I. Person, It's like your problems have all worsened, Your paranoia casts aspersions, On the truths you know
Since you've become famous, your life has gotten worse and you're questioning everything you know

And they'll just put you in a spotlight
The media will put you in the public eye

And hope that you'll do alright, Or maybe not
They'll either hope that you succeed or fail so they have something to report on

Now why do you wanna go, And put starz in their eyes?
Why do you want to become famous and attract attention?

Remember they said you'd show them all
People used to doubt you and your abilities

Emphasize the rise but not the fall, And now you're playin' a shoppin' mall
Focus only on your successes and now you're performing in mundane places

Your mum and dad, they can't believe, What you appear to have achieved, While the rest of these users
Your parents are proud of your achievements while others are jealous

Are just laughin' in their sleeves
They are laughing secretly at you and your situation

And now the tabloids use your face, To document your fall from grace, And then they'll tell you that, That's just the way it goes, That's just the way it goes
The media will use your face to document your downfall and then blame you for it

It's the same old story, Well they just didn't realize
The same thing happens to every celebrity and they didn't know it would happen to them

And it's a long way to come, From the dog and duck karaoke machine, Saturday night's drunken dreams
They've come a long way from their humble beginnings when they sang drunkenly at karaoke bars

When I grow up I'm goin' to be famous
As a child, they had aspirations of becoming famous

Behind the steel barrier, sequence and glitter
Behind the glamour and glitz

Five inch heels still knee deep in the litter
Even though they're famous, they're still stuck in 'the muck' of life

Each of them a bitter bullshitter
Many of them are lying about their lives

Wrapped up in the cloak of fake glamor
They're trying to cover up their imperfections with a fake glamorous appearance

Gettin' lost in the camera
They're so engrossed in the public eye that they forget who they really are

Well, footprints are fool's gold
The mark you leave behind isn't worth much

And diamonds crust their glitz on their one off plimsolls
Even though the famous wear expensive clothes, they still wear cheap shoes

So little time for these one off arseholes, Rigor mortis Ken and Barbie dolls
People lose interest in celebrities quickly and they become like lifeless dolls

A pair of big shades and a push up bra, It's such a short gap between the gutter and stars
You only need a few accessories to be famous and life can change quickly

But you've come a long way from the place that you started
They've come a long way from their humble beginnings

So why'd you wanna go and get so down hearted
Why are you so upset now that you're famous?

Welcome to the kingdom of the blagger
Welcome to the world of liars

Uncuttin' your nose, clean coat in your bladder
Doing drugs and fitting in with the crowd

A whole lot happier, a whole lot sadder
Celebrity has both good and bad aspects

Now why do you wanna go, And put starz in their eyes?
Why do you want to become famous and attract attention?

It's the same old story, Well, they just didn't realize, And it's a long way to come
The same thing happens to every celebrity and they didn't know it would happen to them

From your private bedroom dance routines, And Saturday night's drunken dreams
From their simple dreams and desires

Starz in their eyes?
Why do you want to become famous and attract attention?
