Star
Sale Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I look over my shoulder
I'm not trying to waste time
Cause I got the world at my back, so it's over
If your trying to take mine
Your either drunk or stoned definitely not sober
Your crazy your stupid your fucked
You messed up, you thought too much
Now I'm gonna fuck with your head
While you treat me to lunch, I don't care
Cause I grew up in the slums
That's where I'm from
No little house on the prairie no fairy
No happen ending to the story no glory
I got no moral to tell, no part 2 return from hell
No sequel can be equal, cause my script aint for sale
If you want to make it and be famous
Especially if your nameless
Suggest you be shameless
Most of all be aimless
Cause You probably aint going no where
You got a heart full of dreams
But nobody really cares
You just cry yourself to sleep
Thinking about your biggest fears
Got the karma on my arm so I can't be harmed
Look out critics soon you'll be charmed
By the malicious the vicious, the thoughts are scientific
Fucked up gifted just so full of mischief

Chorus:
Yeah I'm a no one so what
I'm fighting a war full of stars
I'm opposite the movies
Yeah I'm a no one so what
I'm fighting a war full of stars
I'm opposite the movies
I'm fightin a war full of stars
I'm fightin a war full of stars
Fightin a war full of stars
Fightin a war full of stars
I'm opposite the movies
I'm opposite the movies
Yeah I'm a no one so what

We got dreams
Seeing all our fantasies on the big screen

The movies, the music
They raised us
They Played us
They Gave us false hopes
And Then, they erased us
Half way through
They pressed eject
You fuckin reject
Don't you see it
Don't you get the picture
They look at you
All they see is no future
You're a sinking ship
Barely staying a float
You were a no one then
And Now your just a joke
They tossed away your demo
Your not what there looking for
Couldn't say it to your face
Broke the news with a memo

Chorus:
Yeah I'm a no one so what
I'm fighting a war full of stars
I'm opposite the movies
Yeah I'm a no one so what
I'm fighting a war full of stars
I'm opposite the movies
I'm fightin a war full of stars
I'm fightin a war full of stars
Fightin a war full of stars

You look back in the eyes of that kid
Thinking did I give it my all, but you did
Your Turning your thought's into a dream giving it all you got
Turning a plot into a scheme and your getting just one shot
If you fail, if your stale, if you got to jail, if you kill,
If you steal then no big deal
I start from scratch on a daily basis
Up to bat
With 2 strikes 2 outs with loaded bases
Cause Face it
The boss just replaced ya

Chorus:
Yeah I'm a no one so what
I'm fighting a war full of stars
I'm opposite the movies
Yeah I'm a no one so what
I'm fighting a war full of stars
I'm opposite the movies
I'm fightin a war full of stars
I'm fightin a war full of stars
Fightin a war full of stars

Most are stuck in a dream world
Belieiving what they see on tv
Living day to day in oblivion
But not me
Cause I see what is reality
People making ends meat
Trying to survive
Not a penny in their savings
Check into cash is how they rely
Live for today not tomorrow
It's not even worth my time
It's a fuckin crime
People trying to steal your youth
It's the fuckin truth

Yeah I'm a no one so what
I'm fighting a war full of stars
I'm opposite the movies
Yeah I'm a no one so what
I'm fighting a war full of stars
I'm opposite the movies
I'm fightin a war full of stars




I'm fightin a war full of stars
Fightin a war full of stars
