"Rock Star (Monastery Sessions)" lyrics

You talk about Hollywood, city of sin
What have you seen? Where have you been?
You tell me you're lost, addicted to drugs
Why don't you stop pretending
Start sweating some blood?
There's a world out there you know nothing about
And bullshit television doesn't count
Why don't you pack a bag, get some cash
Get a bus to L.A.?

You're telling me you wanna be a rock star
You wanna be a movie star
You say you want to party hard
Want to die in a fast car
You want to be a big star
You want to be a superstar
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Get a haircut, pay through the nose
Get a fake Rolex, be sure that it shows
Go down to Jet Rag, steal some threads
Be careful 'bout drugs and who's in your bed
'Cause it would suck to die before your prime
Like Brandon Lee or the guy in Sublime
There's a city on earth that can set you free
Better get to L.A. before it falls in the sea.

And be a rock star, yeah you'll be a movie star
You say you want to party hard
Want to die in a fast, fast car
You want to be a big star
Do you know who you are?
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Look up in the sky and see the stars
A long, long way from home
Everybody wants to be a star
But no one wants to be alone
Look up in the sky and see the stars
A long, long way from home
Everybody wants to be a star
Everybody wants to be a star

Wants to be a rock star
Wants to be a movie star
Everybody wants to party hard
Wants to die in a fast, fast car
Yeah, you'll be a rock star
Yeah, you'll be a movie star
You say you want to party hard
Want to die in a fast car
Yeah, you'll be a big star
But do you know who you are?
