Rockstar Lyrics - Ben Folds

If you want to be free 

Then I want you to be 

You're not mine anymore 

You're public property 

You're a slave to these people 

Who don't even know you 

You think they adore you 

They do then they throw you away 

Give the people what they want 

You've got to give 

The people what they want 

Got to give 

The people what they want 

Rockstar 

You can shine all alone 

But you still need your friends 

To remind you you're nothing 

Unless you're plugged in 

'Cause, baby, the truth is 

You need their approval 

They tell you you're cool 

Hey, but look how you pay for it 

Give the people what they want 

You've got to give 

The people what they want 

Got to give 

The people what they want 

Rockstar 

Rockstar 

Rockstar 

Oh, is that what you are? 

There must be thousands of you 

So your time is in crumbs now 

Your image is dumbed down 

You're full of it now 

What about when it runs out? 

'Cause maybe you'll come back 

And maybe I'll be here 

You're already gone so just go 

'Cause they're waiting for you 

Yeah you 

You've got to give 

The people what they want 

Got to give 

The people what they want 

Oh, is that what you are?
