pm........................(very heavy muting)
I don't want to be a loser?
No! I don't want to be an almost was.
I don't want to be a white trash working class chump,
I don't want to be a loser anymore.
That's why I want to be a rock star.
I want to be the king. I want to be on top, yeah.
I just want to be a rock star.Yeah? now I just want to be famous.
I want to be the guy that everybody wants (laughter).
pm.....................................(heavy palm muting)
I want to be on TV shows and wear designer clothes.
I want a girlfriend who does not drink beer.
I want to drive a fast car and sleep with certain movie stars.
pm...... . . . . . . . . (loosen palm muting as you play)
I want to sing the songs that all those little people want to hear.
I just want to be a rock star.
I want to be like all those people up in first class.
I just want to be a rock star.
I want to tell the little people they can kiss my ass.
I just want to be a rock star.
I just want to get laid.
I just want to be a rock star, a different girl for every different day.

pm . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
That's why I want to be a rock star, be like all those guys MTV.
I just want to be a rock star.
I want to make those girls on the Real World fantasize about me.
I just want to be a rock star.
I want to be the king. I want to be on top.
I just want to be a rock star. I just want to be famous.
Everybody everywhere wants to be famous and
everybody everywhere wishes they could tell
everybody everywhere to go to Hell.
I just want to be a rock star.
I just want to get high.
I just want to party like a rock star until the day I die.
I just want to be a rock star
I just want to be a rock star
I just want to be a rock star
I just want to be a rock star
I just want to be a rock star
