"Star Broker" lyrics

"Star Broker"

Stone-cold heart, blood in your eye
Don't know nothing, don't never cry
Miss the point, miss the boat
Gotta be good, gonna get the vote
Gotta be known, gotta be a name
If they not famous, you won't play
Gonna have money, gotta be rich
Died a beggar, you son of a bitch

Star broker, it's okay
You don't really matter to 'em anyway
It's just fine, it's alright
That's why you don't sleep at night, no
Star broker, it's okay
You don't really matter to 'em anyway
It's just fine, it's alright
That's why you don't sleep at night

Took his heart, took his name
All for the beauty of a thing called fame
Died for the art and he bled for the soul
But now he's dead and stiff from the ground and the cold
He walks in the house, turns things over
He's gonna get ya, you better take cover
Wreck of a mind, waste of a body
Never got on with your kind

Star broker, it's okay
You don't really matter to 'em anyway
It's just fine, it's alright
That's why you don't sleep at night, no
Star broker, it's okay
You don't really matter to 'em anyway
It's just fine, it's alright
That's why you don't sleep at night

A double barrel shotgun aimed at your head
Missed the target, now he's dead, uh

Star broker, it's okay
You don't really matter to 'em anyway
It's just fine, it's alright
That's why you don't sleep at night, no
Star broker, it's okay
You don't really matter to 'em anyway
It's just fine, it's alright
That's why you don't sleep at night

Star broker, it's okay
You don't really matter to 'em anyway
It's just fine, it's alright
That's why you don't sleep at night, no
Star broker, it's okay
You don't really matter to 'em anyway
It's just fine, it's alright
That's why you don't sleep at night

Star broker, I know a star broker, hang on
You're a star broker
And you don't really matter to 'em anyway
Star broker, it's okay
You don't really matter to 'em anyway
It's just fine, it's alright
That's why you don't, you don't
You don't sleep at night, no, hang on
You're a star broker, oh you are
Oh, oh star broker, it's okay
Oh, star broker, oh
It don't really matter to 'em anyway
