Oh...don't you want to be a star... oh... oh
Oh...don't you want to be a star... oh... oh
Oh pretty young one writing the rules in your own hand
soon to be old one losing teeth
from eating sand
Oh...don't you want to be a star oh oh
Oh...don't you want to be a star oh oh
National pastime it's what you do not who you are
Now you can pay for someone else to drive your car
Shake your moneymaker
Live your life living other people's dreams
Paint your canvas empty
Making more out of less than what it seems
More of the flash
More of the cash
More of the drama
More of the smile
More of the style
More of the scene
When you wake up dying
I'll be glad it's you not me
Not me
Not me
Oh...don't you want to be a star... oh.... oh
Oh...don't you want to be a star... oh... oh
Everyone knows you better than you know yourself
Sacrifice everything you are
Be someone else
This year in the top drawer
Looking up is the only way to climb
Next year you're on the shelf dear
and the slow decline
None of the flash
None of the cash
None of the drama
None of the smile
None of the style
None of the scene
When you wake up dead dear
I'll be glad it's you not me
Not me
Not me
Not me
Oh...don't you want to be a star... oh... oh
Oh...don't you want to be a star... oh... oh
