Rock star

Everclear

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

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
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

That's why I want to be a rock star
Be like all those guys on the MTV
I just want to be a rock star
I want to make those girls on the Real World
Fantazise about me

I just 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

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
Yeah, I just want to be a rock star...

Livin' the life

Steel Dragon

Got a ticket for a ride
Never stop until I'm satisfied
It's a party on the sun
Feel the heat comin' from my gun

Flyin' high on rock n roll
Like a fever burnin' in my soul

Livin' the life I was born to live
Givin' it all I've got to give
Lovin' every minute of what I do
Come on, come on, come on
You can live it too

I like it hard, I like it fast
Nobody told me it was meant to last
I get my lovin' when I can
Spread the word all over this land

I wanna rock it all night and day
So don't ya tell me there's another way

Livin' the life I was born to live
Givin' it all I've got to give
You're invited if you wanna come
Better get ready to have some fun

Livin' the life I was born to live
Givin' it all I've got to give
Livin' the life I was born to live
Givin' it all I've got to give
Lovin' every minute of what I do
Come on, come on, come on
You can live it too

I wanna live the life

Wild side

Motley Crue

[Verse 1]
Kneel down ye sinners to streetwise religion
Greed's been crowned the new king
Hollywood dream teens, yesterday's trash queens
Save the blessings for the final ring
Amen

[Chorus]
Take a ride on the wild side
Wild side

[Verse 2]
I carry my crucifix under my death list
Forward my mail to me in Hell
Liars and the martyrs lost faith in the Father
Long lost is the wishing well
Huh

[Chorus]
Take a ride on the wild side
Wild side

[Bridge]
Fallen angels
So fast to kill
Thy Kingdom come on the wild side
Our Father
Who ain't in heaven
Be Thy name on the wild side
Holy Mary
Mother, may I
Pray for us on the wild side
Wild side
Wild side

[Verse 3]
Name dropping no-names glamorize cocaine
Puppets with strings of gold
East LA at midnight, papa won't be home tonight
Found dead with his best friend's wife

[Chorus]
Take a ride on the wild side
Wild side
Take a ride on the wild side
Wild side

[Bridge]
Gang fights
Fatal strikes
We lie on the wild side
No escape
Murder, rape
Doin' time on the wild side
A baby cries
A cop dies
A day's pay on the wild side
Wild side
Wild side
Tragic life on the wild side
Wild side
Wild side
Kickin' ass on the wild side
No way back on the wild side

We all die young

Steel Dragon

WE ALL DIE YOUNG

Risk my soul, test my life
For my bread
Spend my time lost in space
Am I dead?
Oh let the river flow
Through my callused hands
And take me from my own
The eyes of the damned

It makes my stomach turn
And it tears my flesh from the bone
How we turn a dream to stone

And we all die young

Tell me I know
I lived so afraid
And still we cry alone
With words left unsaid

It makes my stomach turn
And it tears my flesh from bone
How we turn this dream to stone

And we all die young
Yeah we all die young

Blood pollution

Steel Dragon

Give me blood
Give me blood
Give me blood
Give me blood pollution

Bad mornings, good nights
I gotta run, gotta hide from the light
Bar lights, blind my eyes
I crashed my car and I got in a fight

Give me blood
Give me blood
Give me blood
Give me blood pollution

Stole some whiskey, stole some wine
I stole my best friends girl for a line
Sin City, it's alright
I looked at the mirror, all I saw was white

Give me blood
Give me blood
Yeah, give me blood pollution

Give me blood
Give me blood
Give me blood
Give me blood pollution

It's all I want from you

Livin' on a prayer

Bon Jovi

[Intro]
Once upon a time, not so long ago

[Verse 1]
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike, he's down on his luck
It's tough
So tough
Gina works the diner all day
Workin' for her man, she brings home her pay
For love
Mm, for love

[Pre-Chorus]
She says, "We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot"

[Chorus]
Woah, we're halfway there
Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer

[Verse 2]
Tommy's got his six-string in hock
Now he's holdin' in, when he used to make it talk
So tough
Ooh, it's tough
Gina dreams of runnin' away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
"Baby, it's okay
Someday"

[Pre-Chorus]
We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot

[Chorus]
Woah, we're halfway there
Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer, livin' on a prayer

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Ooh, we gotta hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when that's all that you've got

[Chorus]
Woah, we're halfway there
Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer
Woah, we're halfway there
Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer
Woah, we're halfway there
Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer

Stand up

Steel Dragon

Stand up and shout
Stand up stand up stand up and let it out
Stand up and shout
Stand up stand up stand up

I know what you want and what your thinking
I can free your sexuality
No ones ever tortured you with pleasure
Pleasures all you'll ever feel from me

Stand up stand up stand up and let it out
Stand up and shout
Stand up stand up stand up

I just want to see you in the garden
Dressed up as you came into this world
Shining through the candle of deception
Lighting up the underlying
World
Stand up and shout
Stand up stand up stand up and let it out
Stand up and shout
Stand up stand up stand up (slur)

(Musical Break)

Stand up and shout
Stand up stand up stand up and let it out
Stand up and shout
Stand up stand up stand up

Stranglehold

Ted Nugent

[Verse 1: Derek St. Holmes]
Here I come again now baby
Like a dog in heat
You tell it's me by the clamor now, baby
I like to tear up the street

[Chorus 1: Derek St. Holmes]
Now I've been smoking for so long
You know I'm here to stay
Got you in a stranglehold baby
You best get out of the way

[Solo 1]

[Verse 2: Derek St. Holmes]
Road I cruise is a bitch now baby
You know you can't turn me 'round
If a house gets in my way baby
You know I'll burn it down

[Chorus 2: Derek St. Holmes]
You ran that night that you left me
You put me in my place
Got you in a stranglehold now baby
Then I crushed your face

[Instrumental break 1:44-6:14]
[Guitar solo 2: Ted Nugent]

[Verse 3: Ted Nugent]
Sometimes you gonna get higher
Sometimes you gotta start low
Some people think they gonna die someday
I got news you never got to go

[Bridge: Derek St. Holmes & Both]
Come on, come on up;
Come on come on up;
Come on come on up;
Come on come on up;
Come on, come on, come on, come on baby
Come on, come on, come on, come on up
Come on come on come on come on baby
Come on come on come on

[Verse 3: Derek St. Holmes]
The road I cruise is a bitch now
You know you can't turn me 'round
If a house gets in my way
You know I'll burn it down

[Chorus 2: Derek St. Holmes]
You ran that night that you left me
You put me in my place
I got you in a stranglehold baby
And then I crushed your face

Wasted generation

Steel Dragon

A runaway was found today
Dyin' in the alley
He didn't have a name, a number or a home
They found him cold as ice
He was feelin' no pain

His destination was termination
A dead end situation

We are the wasted generation
We are the wasted generation

A teenage idol died tonight
Lyin' in the gutter
He had the things in life
Only money could buy
He threw it all away down a river of fame

His destination was termination
A dead end situation

We are the wasted generation
We are the wasted generation

We are the wasted generation
We are the wasted generation
We are the wasted generation
We are the wasted generation

Lick it up

Kiss

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Don't want to wait till you know me better
Let's just be glad for the time together
Life's such a treat, and it's time you taste it
There isn't a reason on earth to waste it
It ain't a crime to be good to yourself

[Chorus]
(Lick it up, lick it up, oh) It's only right now
(Lick it up, lick it up, oh) Whoo, yeah
(Lick it up, lick it up, oh) Come on, come on
(Lick it up, lick it up, oh) Ooh

[Verse 2]
Don't need to wait for an invitation
You gotta live like you're on vacation
There's something sweet you can't buy with money
(Lick it up) Whoo (Lick it up)
It's all you need, so believe me, honey
It ain't a crime to be good to yourself

[Chorus]
(Lick it up, lick it up, oh) It's only right now
(Lick it up, lick it up, oh) Whoo, yeah
(Lick it up, lick it up, oh) Come on, come on
(Lick it up, lick it up, oh) Come on

[Bridge]
It's only right now
It's only right now
Ooh yeah (Ooh yeah), ooh yeah (Ooh yeah)
Yeah yeah

[Guitar solo]

Oh, whoo

[Chorus]
(Lick it up, lick it up, oh) It's only right now
(Lick it up, lick it up, oh) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Lick it up, lick it up, oh)

Long live rock and roll

Steel Dragon

At the end of a dream
If you know where I mean
When the mist just starts to clear

In a similar way
At the end of today
I could feel the sound of writing on the wall
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do

Like a spiral on the wind

I can hear it screamin, in my mind
Long live rock and roll
Long live rock n roll
Long live rock and roll

In a different time
When the words didn't ryhme
You could never quite be sure
Then on with the change
It was simple but strange
And you knew the feeling seemed to say it all
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screamin' in my mind
Long live rock and roll
Long live rock n roll

Long live rock and roll

Getting as good as you give
Sleep with the devil and then you must pay
Sleep with the devil, and the devil will take you away

Look away from the sea
I can take you anywhere
Spend a vision with me
A chase with the wind

Move closer to me
I can make you anyone
I think you're ready to see
The gates of babylon

The power of what has been before
Rises to trap you within
A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more
A city of heavenly sin
Sleep with the devil and then you must pay
Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away
Black gates of babylon

The devil is me
And I'm holding the key
To the gates of sweet hell
Babylon

Devil inside

INXS

[Intro]
Ah ah ah

[Whispered]
Let's do some wrong

[Verse 1]
Here come the woman with the look in her eye
Raised on leather, with flesh on her mind
Words as weapons, sharper than knives
Makes you wonder how the other half die, other half die
Makes you wonder, wonder, wonder

Here come the man with the look in his eye
He's fed on nothing, but full of pride
Look at them go, look at them kick
Makes you wonder how the other half live

[Hook]
Devil inside, the devil inside
Every single one of us, the devil inside
Devil inside, devil inside
Every single one of us, the devil inside

Oh-oh, oh
Mmm

[Verse 2]
Here come the world with the look in its eye
Future uncertain, but certainly slight
Look at the faces, listen to the bells
It's hard to believe we need a place called hell, place called hell

[Hook]
The devil inside, the devil inside
Every single one of us, the devil inside
Devil inside, the devil inside
Every single one of us, the devil inside
Oh oh hoo
Na na na na na

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
Here comes the woman with the look in her eye
She's raised on leather, with flesh on her mind
Words as weapons, sharper than knives
Makes you wonder how the other half die

[Hook]
Devil inside, the devil inside
Every single one of us, the devil inside
Devil inside, the devil inside
Every single one of us, the devil inside
Devil inside, devil inside
Every single one of us, the devil inside
Devil inside, devil inside
Every single one of us, the devil inside
Oh, ho ho
Na na na
[Outro]
The devil inside, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah huh huh
The devil inside, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, huh huh, ahh
Oh, huh huh
Ah yeah

Colorful

The Verve Pipe

Show is over, close the story book
There will be no encore
And all the random hands that I have shook
Well, they're reaching for the door
I watch their backs as they leave single file
You stood stubborn, cheering all the while
I know I can be colorful, I know I can be gray
But I know this loser's living fortunate
'Cause I know you will love me either way
Most were being good for goodness sake
But you wouldn't pantomime
You are more beautiful when you awake
Than most are in a lifetime
Through the haze that is my memory well
Stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy
I know I can be colorful, I know I can be gray
An' I know this loser's living fortunate
An' I know you will love me either way
Look ahead as far as you can see me
We'll live in drama but we'll die in a comedy
I know I can be colorful, I know I can be gray
But I know this loser's living fortunate
An' I know you will love me either way
I know I can be colorful, I know I can be gray
But I know this loser's living fortunate
An' I know you will love me yes I know you will love me
I know you will love me me either way
