Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To Clubs We'll Never Get In
It′s Like The Bottom Of The Ninth
And I'm Never Gonna Win
This Life Hasn't Turned Out
Quite The Way I Want It To Be
(Tell Me What You Want)
I Want A Brand New House
And A Bathroom I Can Play Baseball In
And A King Size Tub Big Enough
For Ten Plus Me
(Tell Me What You Need)
I′ll Need A Credit Card That′s Got No Limit
And A Big Black Jet With A Bedroom In It
Gonna Join The Mile High Club
At Thirty-Seven Thousand Feet
(Been There Done That)
I Want A New Tour Bus Full Of Old Guitars
My Own Star On Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere Between Cher And
James Dean Is Fine For Me
(So How Ya Gonna Do It?)
I'm Gonna Trade This Life For Fortune And Fame
I′d Even Cut My Hair And Change My Name
'Cause We All Just Wanna Be Big Rockstars
And Live In Hilltop Houses Driving Fifteen Cars
The Girls Come Easy And The Drugs Come Cheap
We′ll All Stay Skinny 'Cause We Just Won′t Eat
And We'll Hang Out In The Coolest Bars
In The Vip With The Movie Stars
Every Good Gold Digger's
Gonna Wind Up There
Every Playboy Bunny
With Her Bleach Blond Hair
Hey Hey I Wanna Be A Rockstar
Hey Hey I Wanna Be A Rockstar
I Wanna Be Great Like Elvis Without The Tassels
Hire Eight Body Guards That Love To Beat Up Assholes
Sign A Couple Autographs
So I Can Eat My Meals For Free
(I′ll Have A Quesadilla On The House)
I′m Gonna Dress My Ass
With The Latest Fashion
Get A Front Door Key To The Playboy Mansion
Gonna Date A Centerfold That Loves To
Blow My Money For Me
(So How Ya Gonna Do It?)
I'm Gonna Trade This Life
For Fortune And Fame
I′d Even Cut My Hair
And Change My Name
'Cause We All Just Wanna Be Big Rockstars
And Live In Hilltop Houses Driving Fifteen Cars
The Girls Come Easy And The Drugs Come Cheap
We′ll All Stay Skinny 'Cause We Just Won′t Eat
And We'll Hang Out In The Coolest Bars
In The Vip With The Movie Stars

Hey Hey I Wanna Be A Rockstar
I′m Gonna Sing Those Songs
That Offend The Censors
Gonna Pop My Pills
From A Pez Dispenser
Get Washed-Up Singers Writing All My Songs
Lip Sync Em Every Night So I Don't Get ′Em Wrong
Well We All Just Wanna Be Big Rockstars

The lyrics to Pop Mania's "Rockstar" depict the desire for fame and fortune in the music industry. The singer is tired of waiting in line to enter exclusive clubs and dreams of a luxurious lifestyle with a brand new house, king size tub, credit card with no limit, and private jet with a bedroom. The singer even wants to join the mile high club at 37,000 feet. The song continues with desires such as a new tour bus with guitars, own star on Hollywood Boulevard, and dating a centerfold. The chorus repeats the desire to be a big rockstar and live in luxury with thin bodies and cool friends.
The lyrics reflect the American Dream, but with a twisted perspective. The desire for fame and fortune at the cost of morality, authenticity, and self-fulfillment is a recurring theme often seen in pop culture. The singer is willing to trade their current life for a life of luxury and notoriety, regardless of how they get it. In the end, the lyrics leave the audience questioning the true value of being a rockstar.

LOVE Smashbox! My favorite fall look is definitely a 'rockstar' eye and a deep vampy lip!
Nicole Mondeaux
I have been loving my eyebrow kit this fall. The full eyebrow has been a difficult transition since I've had thin brows forever!
Kailey Anderson
I LOVE Smashbox Cosmetics and the Rock Star look! My favorite fall beauty product is my maroon colored nail polish from Revlon. It is so pretty and ties in my favorite fall color into all of my looks! Love this video!
Lauren Heft
My favorite beauty product for fall is a nice burgundy eyeshadow. I think it deepens but also keeps a look neutral. It's also great for fall
Maaaddz
my favorite fall item would have to be Revlon Berry Haute lipstick. This looks absolutely gorgeous with a high chic pony and some riding boots, I think it gives a sophisticated look to any day to day outfit :) BTW you look gorgeous
Jessica L.
I love that eye look! I also am really interested in that pink highlighter for the eyebrows :)

Smashbox is awesome! My favorite beauty product for fall is any deep, rich red lipstick! :) I'd pair it with a very neutral eye
FrancesFelix
Favorite product for fall would have to be plum lipstick or lipstain!! It makes your lips really stand out and is the hottest trend this fall!
