Song of the day: “Don’t Wanna Be a Rock Star” (sung to the tune of “Rock Star” by Nickelback) Creative Commons License 2012 Andy Harrison
I’m done with hearin’ songs about drinkin’ and sex I got a brain in my head but haven’t used it yet The main stream media has never been a friend to me
Tell me what you want
I wanna know the truth what’s really goin’ on Not get brain fucked by a stupid ass song Designed to shift my focus from how bad this world is getting to be
So what you need?
I need a government that’s not run by crooks I need a money system that can’t be shook I need my freedom of speech and all my civil liberties
Been there done that
I want to know my air is clean and safe I want my water without that chemical taste And my food not genetically altered to give me disease
How you gonna do it?
I’m gonna trade this life for positive change Drop my radio off at the riffle range
Chorus 1: We all just wanna be big rock stars We been fucked in the head we don’t like who we are Sold on the notion that we ain’t worth shit Gotta worship some stoned stupid idiot
We don’t live in reality When we’re lost in some adolescent fantasy Social engineers workin’ overtime Putting people on stage to keep the slaves in line Hey, hey don’t want to be a rock star
I’d have to be like Elvis with all the hassles Work for criminals who treat the world like assholes They’d use me as a tool to help keep the public asleep
I’d be the poster child for a life of excess Your kids would wanna take drugs and get undressed While my bosses rob you blind and tear apart your country
How you gonna do it?
I’m gonna trade this life for positive change Drop my radio off at the riffle range
Chorus 2: We all just wanna be big rock stars We been fucked in the head we don’t like who we are Sold on the notion that we ain’t worth shit Gotta worship some stoned stupid idiot
We don’t live in reality When we’re lost in some adolescent fantasy Social engineers workin’ overtime Putting people on stage to keep the slaves in line
We hang out watchin’ videos full of drug addicts, thugs and hoes Every world bank owner has a good hard laugh As the take our civil rights and steal our cash Hey, hey don’t want to be a rock star
