"Rockstar Sea Shanty" lyrics

Nickelback & The Lottery Winners Lyrics

"Rockstar Sea Shanty"

I'm through with
Standing in line to pubs I'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth and I'm never gonna win
Life hasn't turned out quite the way I want it to be
Tell me what you want
I want a huge sail that'll hold the squalls
And a big black ship with some cannonballs
Don't wanna join Davy Jones twenty thousand leagues under the sea
So how you gonna do it?

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'll even grow my beard and change my name, we

We all just wanna be big rockstars
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIPs with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and today's who's who
They'll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody's got a rum dealer on speed dial

Hey, I wanna be a rockstar

Gonna sing those songs that offend the censors
Singing those songs that offend the censors
Popping my pills from a Pez dispenser
Rockstars don't do mornings
Get washed up sailors writing all our songs
Get washed up sailors writing all our songs
Lipsync 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong
We'll sing them dusk 'til morning, we, we

We all just wanna be big rockstars
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIPs with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and today's who's who
They'll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody's got a rum dealer on speed dial

Hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Everybody's got a rum dealer on speed dial
Hey, I wanna be a rockstar
