Stardom in action that's all they got.
Just like the grub that wriggles to the top of the mass
I'm the first to get hooked
Just like the stub of that long cigarette full of hash
I'm the first to get booked.
But I'm incapable
My love's inescapable
Conquering lethargy
I've got energy
Stardom - I want a hit
Want my tan, want my cash, want my innocence.
Stardom - I want a script
Want my band, want my stash, want omnipotence.
I'll go where the senescent soldier retires
And shiver in south California,
Watching the storms and the tangling wire
And rivers that meet on the corner.
Like some prostitute
Handing round the loot,
I am not ashamed
I will stake a claim.
Stardom - born in a trunk
Got my home, got my car, got stability
Stardom - I'm Hollywood's son
All alone don't admire anonimity.
I'm so angry that you turned me on,
I didn't remain your friend for too long
I'm so angry that you turned me on,
I didn't stay your friend for too long.
I'm so angry that you let me see
My totally futile destiny.
I'm so angry - you interrupted my dream,
Now I know that the power rests in me.
Stardom in action that's all they got
