Rock Star

(album: The Best Imitation Of Myself: A Retrospective - 2011)

If you wanna be free
Then I want you to be
You're not mine anymore
You're public property

And your seconds are crumbs and you get them freely
You're a slave to these people who don't even know you
You think they adore you
They use you and throw you away

Give the people what they want
You've got to give the people what they want
Got to give the people what they want
Rock star

You've adapted the manners of somebody else
I don't even know you, you're somebody else

But baby, the truth is
You need their approval
To tell you you're cool
And you're willing to pay tooth and nail

Finally give them what they want
You've got to give the people what they want
You've got to give the people what they want
Rock star
Rock star

So maybe you'll come back
And maybe I'll be here
You're already gone, so just go
'Cause they're waiting for you

Got to give the people what they want
You've got to give the people what they want
You've got to give the people what they want
