lyrics

“WANNA BE A DEAD ROCK STAR”

They love you forever
The deader the better
Get your souvenir crap
While they peel back your cap
You can’t control
When you sell your soul
Once you sign on the dotted line
Its your time
Baby, its your time

Wanna be a dead rock star, no worries, no hassles
Wanna be a dead rock star, in a storybook castle
Wanna be a dead rock star, and sleep with fanatics
Wanna be a dead rock star, in a band with drug addicts

Elvis you’re looking thinner
Have a pizza for dinner
Better find Mama Cass
Better deep fry her ass
You got it made
All your dues are paid
Once you sign on the dotted line
Its your time
Baby, its your time

(Chorus)

You can’t control
When you sell your soul
Once you sign on the dotted line
Its your time
Baby, its your time

(Chorus)

Wanna be a dead rock star, wanna be a dead rock star
Wanna be a dead rock star, wanna be a dead rock star
I wanna hit a tree when I’m skiing
I wanna swallow my own vomit
I wanna shoot myself in the head
I wanna freebase at 30,000 feet and burst into flames
