Ben Folds Five – Rockstar lyrics

If you want to be free
Then I want you to be
You're not mine anymore
You're public property

You're a slave to these people
Who don't even know you
You think they adore you
They do, then they throw you away

Give the people what they want
You've got to give the people what they want
Got to give the people what they want
Rockstar

You can shine all alone
But you still need your friends
To remind you you're nothing
Unless you're plugged in

'Cause baby the tuth is
You need their approval
They tell you you're cool
Hey but look how you payed for it

Give the people what they want
You've got to give the people what they want
Got to give the people what they want
Rockstar
Rockstar
Rockstar

Oh, is that what you are?
There must be thousands of you

So your time is in crumbs now
Your image is dumbed down
You're full of them now
What about when it runs out
Maybe you'll come back
Yeah, maybe I'll be here
You're already gone
So just go
'Cause they're waiting for you
Yeah, you

You've got to give the people what they want
Got to give the people what they want

Oh, is that what you are?
