When I grow up I'm gonna be a rockstar 
My true calling is to be a fraud 
Who does tons of drugs, fucks loads of girls 
And gets worshipped as a god 

And on the day I turn 27 
I'll put a bullet in my head 
And on Earth they'll all be mourning 
As I wait amongst the dead 

And Satan says "Boy what'd you do with your life?" 
As he frisks me at the gates 
And I say I was a rockstar 
One that's up there with the greats 

Then he looks down at my papers 
To double-check my age 
He grabs my hand, and makes a plan 
He says "Sir, right this way!" 

We walk up to a club branded with a big two-seven 
Satan opens up the doors and says "Well, go right in" 

And now I'm getting drunk with Amy Winehouse 
Getting high with Kurt Cobain 
Writing poetry with Jim Morrison is not as much fun as you'd think 
Making out with Janis Joplin 
Voodoo with Robert Johnson 
Oh I'm in love 
I'm in the 27 club 

All my biggest inspirations 
Doing what they do best 
Dancing on the edge of chaos 
And indulging in excess 

Brian Jones invites me for a swim 
How could I ask for more? 
And the security nabs Andy Gibb 
As he sneaks in the back door 

It's a place where care and caution have no use 
Where we eternally relive our misspent youth 

Yeah, I'm getting drunk with Amy Winehouse 
Getting high with Kurt Cobain 
And if Jim Morrison reads me one more poem, I'm gonna go fucking insane 
Jamming out with Jimi Hendrix 
Making room for Lil Pump 
Oh I'm in love 
I'm in the 27 club 

And in the midst of my fantasizing, a thought occurs to me 
Maybe these people aren't heroes, and their tales are more cautionary
And by being trapped in this dingy club, they're reminded every day 
That they wasted their potential and they threw their lives away 

Could it be this afterlife that I've devised 
Reads more like a punishment than a grand prize? 
Could it be the tragic figures that I idolize 
Have only led me down a primrose path of lies? 
Nah, f*ck that 

I wanna shoot up with Sid Vicious 
He's not 27 but who cares? 
I wanna pig out with fat Elvis 
And listen to John Lennon swear 
Maybe I don't wanna be a rockstar 
Maybe I just wanna have fun 
And this is fun 
(I'm binge drinking with Judy Garland) 
I just wanna die young 
Maybe at 27 
I wanna grow up to die young 
I'm gonna die young, yes sir, I'm gonna die young 
'Cause all you gotta do to live forever is die young
