 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons! 

He wants to be glorified 
And swallowed in fame 
He wants to be a hero 
Like Kurt Cobain 
Playing his guitar 
With it hung round his knees 
The tour bus syndrome 
The touring disease 
He stands like a soldier 
He's ready to charge 
The young girls he sleeps with 
Are all a mirage 
He wants to be wanted 
But doesn't know why 
Reality curtains 
Black out a blue sky 
Play on play on and eat up the sun 
Pop up to London and soak up the fun 
Play on play on with gathering speed 
Its Saturday night 
As the ears start to bleed 
He wants to be famous a 
And fall when he's young 
Climbing up ladders 
Without any rungs 
Ill in the morning 
And wasted all day 
Looking demented 
With not much to say 
He pulls out a woman 
From under his bed 
Her eyes are like cherries 
That spin in her head 
If he hits the jackpot 
He's in the top ten
