Why is it all these fakers, seem to make the morning papers? 
They're selling records by the million, seems so easy in my opinion, 
Look at the Jazz Star, he really needs some guts 
Playing from seven to midnight, surviving on peanuts 
Selling records by the dozen 
Probably sold his tenor to make 'em 
With artwork designed by his brother 
And liner notes by his mother 

Told what to do, miming to a tape 
While a team of experts make sure you're looking great 
Taking a limo to your own private bar 
My God! I want to be a popstar! 

Going to get on the T.V and go on dates with only the pretty 
Maybe next year I'll pretend to be gay 
I'll sell more records in a flash that way 
Makes no difference if i look like a nut 
Every kid in the world is going to copy my haircut 
I'll advertise some trainers, maybe even a car 
Product placement will gurantee I'm a star 
An ugly guy will write my songs 
Surley there is nothing wrong 
Retiring when I'm 22 
With a house a car and nothing to do 

Instantaneous satisfaction it will be 
Got no need for artistic credibility 
With this attitude I'm bound to go far 
My God! I want to be a popstar! 

Where's the middle ground? 
It's hard to make a living with you own true sound 
What road am I going to tread? 
What the hell would i do instead? 

There may be no tours in Roma, or drug-induced designer coma 
No teenage girls when show is over, I prefer my women older 
Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about 
Sometimes it would be nice to play a place and sell out 
Driving to a gig in my brand new sports car 
My God! I want to be a popstar! 

Maybe its too easy, to move so quickly so far 
Who wants to be a popstar?
