[Verse 1]
G
I'm through with standing in line to clubs we'll never get in
C
It's like the bottom of the ninth and I'm never gonna win
F G
This life hasn't turned out quite the way I want it to be

I want a brand new house on an episode of Cribs

And a bathroom I can play baseball in

And a king size tub big enough for ten plus me

I'll need a credit card that's got no limit

Gonna join the mile high club at 37,000 feet

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars

My own star on Hollywood Boulevard

Somewhere between Cher and James Dean is fine for me
[Pre-Chorus]

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
C~
I'd even cut my hair and change my name
[Chorus]

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars

And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
C
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
D# F
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

In the VIP with the movie stars

Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there

Sign a couple autographs
G
So I can eat my meals for free
G
I'm gonna dress my ass with the latest fashion

Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
F
Gonna date a centerfold that loves

To blow my money for me

They'll get you anything with that evil smile

Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial and
