They'll be making sure you stay amused They'll fill you up with drugs and booze Maybe you'll make the evening news
And when you're tripping over your dreams They'll keep you down by any means And by the end of the night you'll be stifling your screams
Since you became a VIPerson It's like your problems have all worsened Your paranoia casts aspersions On the truths you know
And they'll just put you in the spotlight And hope that you'll do alright Or maybe not
Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? Why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? So why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? Starz in their eyes?
Remember they said you'd show them all Emphasise the rise but not the fall And now you're playing a shopping mall
Your mum and dad they can't believe What you appear to have achieved While the rest of these users are just laughing in their sleeves
Since you became a VIPerson It's like your problems have all worsened Your paranoia casts aspersions On the truths you know
And now the tabloids use your face To document your fall from grace And then they'll tell you that that's just the way it goes That's just the way it goes
[Bridge 1] Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? It's the same old story well they just didn't realise And it's a long way to come from the Dog and Duck karaoke machine And Saturday night's drunken dreams
Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? It's the same old story well they just didn't realise And it's a long way to come from your private bedroom dance routines And Saturday night's drunken dreams
Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? Why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? So why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? Starz in their eyes?
Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? It's the same old story well they just didn't realise And it's a long way to come from the Dog and Duck karaoke machine And Saturday night's drunken dreams
[Bridge 2] (When I grow up I'm going to be famous)
Behind the steel barrier and sequence and glitter Five-inch heels still knee deep in the litter Each of them a bitter bullshitter Wrapped up in the cloak of fake glamour, getting lost in the camera Well footprints are fools gold, diamonds crusts on their one-off plimsolls So little time for these one-off arseholes Rigor mortis Ken and Barbie dolls A pair of big shades and a push-up bra It's such a short gap between the gutter and stars That you've come a long way from the place that you started So why'd you wanna go and get so downhearted
Welcome to the kingdom of the blagger Uncut in your nose, Clicquot in your bladder A whole lot happier a whole lot sadder Used to be satisfied but now you feel like Mick Jagger...
Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? It's the same old story well they just didn't realise And it's a long way to come from the Dog and Duck karaoke machine And Saturday night's drunken dreams
Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? It's the same old story well they just didn't realise And it's a long way to come from your private bedroom dance routines And Saturday night's drunken dreams
