Superstars

(album: As Far As The Stars - 2021)

[Tom MacDonald:]
They ask me, "What's the matter?", I say, "Nothing at all"
Been spending too much time with posters stuck to my wall
Superstars ain't got no problems, superstars don't have bad days
Superstars get superstardom, well, I get high to get through my day
They ask me how I'm doing, I say, "Not bad at all"
My name ain't on the marquee, but the show was the bomb
Superstars ain't got no problems, superstars don't have bad days
Superstars are fucking awesome, what I do with a little faith
All I want is paparazzi hanging at my place
So I can tell 'em, "Get that motherfucking camera out my face"
I want a big house in the hills and a couple hundred mil'
And my name on magazines for taking way too many pills 'cause
The superstars can hit rock bottom, but superstars turn out okay
Superstars look good in coffins, and everybody knows all their names

[Tom MacDonald & Nova Rockafeller:]
All my life I prayed for it
Lamborghini doors, I don't owe nobody for
I swear on my life, I'm made for it
They'll say they knew me before, they don't know me anymore, like
All my life I prayed, "Dear God, take me outta this place"
All my life I'll be the one Hollywood will never change, yeah

[Brandon Hart:]
They ask me how I'm doing, I say, "Not bad at all"
I've never been on TV, but I do a good job
Superstars ain't got no problems, superstars don't have bad days
Superstars are fucking awesome, what I do for them that know my name
All I want is checks and for the debts to go away
So I can tell that bill collector, "Get the fuck about my place"
Want a good life for my daughter, want my family okay
Wanna feel it while I'm living to make dying worth the wait 'cause
Superstars don't get forgotten, superstars don't fade away
Superstars look good in coffins, and everybody knows all their names

[Tom MacDonald & Nova Rockafeller:]
All my life I prayed for it
Lamborghini doors, I don't own nobody for
I swear to my life I'm made for it
They'll say they knew me before, they don't know me anymore, like
All my life I prayed, "Dear God, take me outta this place"
All my life I'll be the one Hollywood will never change, yeah

[Nova Rockafeller:]
Break my back for a little money, lose myself for little fame
People get rich, start acting funny, but I know I would never change
I want fans who say they love me and people I hate to know my name
People get rich, start acting funny, I swear to God I'd stay the same

[Tom MacDonald & Nova Rockafeller:]
All my life I prayed for it
Lamborghini doors, I don't owe nobody for
I swear on my life, I'm made for it
They'll say they knew me before, they don't know me anymore, like
All my life I prayed, "Dear God, take me outta this place"
All my life I'll be the one Hollywood will never change, yeah
