Ben Folds Rockstar Lyrics

Rockstar Lyrics

If you want to be free 

Then I want you to be 

You're not mine anymore 

You're public property 



You're a slave to these people who 

Don't even know you 

You think they adore you 

They do 

Then they 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 can shine all alone 

But you still need your friends 

To remind you you're nothing 

Unless you're plugged in 



Cause baby the truth is 

You need their approval 

To tell you you're cool 

Hey, but look how you pay for it 



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 

Rock star 

Rock star 



Oh, is that what you are? 

There must be thousands of you 



So you're time is encroached now 

You're image is dumbed down 

You're full of it now 

What about when it runs out 

Maybe you'll come back 

Yeah, maybe I'll be here 

You're already gone 

So just go 

Cause their waiting for you 

Yeah, you 

You've got to give the people what they want 

Got to give the people what they 

Want 



Oh, is that what you are?
