This song is really easy becausse it has no intro and it really
just three chords.
Tunning: standard
I'm through with standing in line
To clubs we'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth
And I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out
Quite the way I want it to be
(Tell me what you want)
I want a brand new house
On an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
For ten plus me
(So what you need?)
I'll need a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet
(Been there, done that)
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and
James Dean is fine for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name
[Chorus:]
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free
(I'll have the quesadilla, uh huh)
I think I'm gonna dress my ass
With the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
Blow my money for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name
[Chorus]
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and today's who's who
They'll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
I'm gonna sing those songs
That offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills from a pez dispenser
I'll get washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip sync em every night so I don't get 'em wrong
[Chorus]
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and today's who's who
They'll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

| A lot of sin is said in the song also. Drugs, sex, greed. Changing your simple life, for the crazy fast life. | |

| i think this song is actually mocking the ridicuolous lifestyle of most celebs. no one needs 15 cars or a huge bathroom. shows how superficial and materialistic celebs are, but the average person is jealous of what they have. | |

| I think it's both a rock anthem and a bit of satire. We all want to be rockstars -- the lifestyle is basically everything a person could ever want. But it definitely pokes some fun at that lifestyle at the same time, at how it's shallow and self-destructive. But does that change its desirability? Would that stop anyone from hitting the road with their instruments, whiskey, and dexadrine? Of course not. | |

| Ok, people need to understand, this song is a mock. You don't need lyrics to listen to this song, its not hard to hear what he's saying. If you listen closely, you can hear a person with with a very deep voice, almost as if its the Devil, giving what he wants (like selling your soul to the devil), "Tell me what you want." Just after, "This life hasn’t turned out, quite the way I want it to be" I think of this song as a way of showing how many celebrities, sell there soul to the devil, by buying so much that they dont need. Now, i'm not saying celebrities should buy a nice car, but why 15 of them? Nickelback IS a christian band. They are not serious with this song. At least I hope not. I love Nickelback because of there songs that are filled with emotion and passion, not very hooks, and to sell albums JUST to make money. Just to note, this is my take on the song, this is what i think. Take what you want from it. Songs are interpreted different from a lot of people. | |
