Being a Rock Star

As we do our thing,
Try to keep control...
Careful what we sing.
Rock 'n' roll is everything to everybody that you've ever met,
Dirty socks and all.
If I ever make it to the top I really hope I don't forget:
No one cares how tall I feel, at all.

If I ever write
Any songs about being a rock star,
Slap me please, all right?
That ain't me.

I've got more to say.
I'm sticking to my guns.
Let the big boys play.
They're the ones that wanted to become the very image they create.
Now that's all they are.
They're the ones with nothing but a lifestyle to which no one can relate.
But they play guitar!
Don't you see how damn cool they are?

Oh no! They take it too far.
Now all the greatest love songs
Are secretly about heroin.

If I ever write
Any songs about being a rock star,
Slap me please, all right?
That ain't me.
