Star People
Star peopleCounting your money till your soul turns greenStar peopleCounting the cost of your desire to be seen
I do not count myself among youI may be living in a dreamIt's just there seem so many of youCan't help but hopeThere's a difference between....you and me
You're a star(I'm talking to you)You're a star
Maybe your mama gave you up boy(it's the same old same old)Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough girl
Star peopleNever forget your secret's safe with meJust look at all the wonderful peopleTrying to forget they had to pay for what you see
It's a dreamWith a nightmare stuck in the middleBut where would you beWithout all of that attentionYou'd dieI'd dieWe'd die wouldn't we(well wouldn't we)
Big, big, star!Should go far!
Talk about your motherTalk about your fatherTalk about the peopleWho have made you what you areTalk about your teacher,The bully boy who beat youTalk about the people who have paidFor that new sports car
Did you get off on a bad foot, babyDo you have a little tale to tellIs that why you're a star?Is that what makes a star?
Nothing comes for nothing, babyThat fame and fortune's heaven sentAnd who gives a fuck about your problems, darlingWhen you can pay the rent
How much is enough?
