Pop Star

Chris Porro


So you want to be a pop star? 
you can start by lowering the bar 
Get some platinum white teeth, an industry thief, 
you might go far 

So you wanna be a pop star? 
Were you under-loved? attention starved? 
Mommy out at the club? Daddy drunk at the pub? 
All of the above? 

Well I guess its alright 
We all love those rags to riches stories opening night 
So turn it on star 
And never turn it off while we're still tuned-in to your show 
In which case, we'll let you know 

That you're a pop star 
A consumer good like food or cars 
You're a mutual fund, you're diversified son 
Safe for everyone 

So you wanna be a pop star? 
Well I'm more tempted as I write this song 
Can't we all get along, we'll have fun at the beach 
Here's my acceptancy speech 

Put together your hands 
For my producer and songwriter and ofcourse the fans 
oh, but give it up star 
cause you don't play yourself like John Wayne in some western town 
in fact it kind of sounds... 

like you're a pop star. 
Congratulations how you're hit the charts 
A debut in top ten will they come back again 
Take the money and run 

So you wanna be a pop star? 
You'll have to follow trends and work the crowd 
Get a pitch for the biz 
Guess it is what it is 
Are you still with me now? 

Did I mentions the fans? 
Heaps of heaving teens are diving to land at your feet 
So give it up star 
You'll be Christ without agendas, and a smaller part 
What do you think so far? 

You wanna be a pop star?
