They'll be making sure you stay amused 

They'll fill you up with drugs and booze 

Maybe you'll make the evening news 



And when you're tripping over your dreams 

They'll keep you down by any means 

and by the end of the night you'll be stifling your screams 



Since you became a VIPerson 

It's like your problems have all worsened 

Your paranoia casts aspersions 

On the truths you know 



And they'll just put you in the spotlight 

And hope that you'll do alright 

Or maybe not 



Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? 

Why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? 

So why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? 

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? 

Starz in their eyes? 



Remember they said you'd show them all 

Emphasise the rise but not the fall 

And now you're playing a shopping mall 



Your mum and dad they can't believe 

What you appear to have achieved 

While the rest of these users are just laughing in their sleeves 



Since you became a VIPerson 

It's like your problems have all worsened 

Your paranoia casts aspersions 

On the truths you know 



And now the tabloids use your face 

To document your fall from grace 

And then they'll tell you that that's just the way it goes 

That's just the way it goes 



Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? 

It's the same old story well they just didn't realise 

And it's a long way to come from the dog and duck karaoke machine 

And Saturday night's drunken dreams 



Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? 

It's the same old story well they just didn't realise 

And it's a long way to come from your private bedroom dance routines 

And Saturday night's drunken dreams 



Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? 

Why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? 

So why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? 

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? 

Starz in their eyes? 



Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? 

It's the same old story well they just didn't realise 

And it's a long way to come from the dog and duck karaoke machine 

And Saturday night's drunken dreams 



(When I grow up im going to be famous) 



Behind the steel barrier and sequence and glitter 

Five inch heels still knee deep in the litter 

Each of them a bitter bullshitter, 

Wrapped up in the cloak of fake glamour, getting lost in the camera 

Well footprints are fools gold, diamonds crusts on their one off plimsolls 

So little time for these one off arseholes 

Rigour mortis Ken and Barbie dolls, 

A pair of big shades and a push up bra, 

It's such a short gap between the gutter and stars, 

That you've come a long way from the place that you started 

So why'd you wanna go and get so down hearted 



Welcome to the kingdom of the blagger 

Uncutting you nose clean, coating you bladder 

A whole lot happier a whole lot sadder, 

Used to be satisfied but now you feel like Mick Jagger, 



Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? 

It's the same old story well they just didn't realise 

And it's a long way to come from the dog and duck karaoke machine 

And Saturday night's drunken dreams 



Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes? 

It's the same old story well they just didn't realise 

And it's a long way to come from your private bedroom dance routines 

And Saturday night's drunken dreams
