LYRICS

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

'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 bleached blond hair, and well

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, ha, ha)

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

'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 bleached blond hair

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, well

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

Well, 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 bleached blond hair

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, well

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

  • @Duncan94
    What I love about this music video is that the people have that quintessential mid-2000s look and there's even a bunch of celebs from the time who've pretty much been forgotten about. It's like a time capsule.
  • I moved to Minnesota from 2000 until 2008 as a young black dude(aged 20 thru 28) And I'll admit Nickelback along with alot of Rock and Alternative Rock broadened my musical spectrum frfr..I love this song

    It’s mind boggling how many people are featured in this that are no longer relevant. Yet it felt like yesterday when they were all the fame.
  • @Benjoo-ly5tn
    This music video just perfectly represents the 2000s
  • @watson787
    Well, I'm 76, and from the UK. I first heard Nickelback, after watching a DVD which I think was about Spiderman. The song was sung and delivered by Nickelback at the end of the film, accompanied by a rough looking guy, whose name escapes me, but was absolutely fantastic. They sung 'against' each other, and was the best song I'd heard from that period ever. I bought the DVD, just to watch it again and again. Since then, I've bought all the other of their CD'S, and have not been dis-appointed, but amazed by their talent. In my opinion, they are the best 'rock group' on this planet. I'm British, and still maintain they are better than any British rock group that ever lived! Even better than Black Sabbath! What a pity I didn't see them live, either here or in the States.

    This seems like a song that can truly bring us together in 2024. Love to see both sides just jamming in harmony!!!
