Rock Star Lyrics - Chim Chim's Badass Revenge - Fishbone

When I was a kid I would go to the show and see the rock star 

I'd play my records and look at the album cover at the rock star 

Sometimes I'd check out the r&b 

But the polka, salsa classical scene just was not me 

I wanted to be like bootsy, dr. funkenstein or jimi the rock star 

Color meant nothing to me 

Everything was equal as far as I could see 

Ignorant to the racist music industry music industry music industry 

Music industry... white rock star 

Everywhere I look... white rock star 

Read it in the paper... white rock star 

Watch it on tv... white rock star 

Only just a little... black rock star 

Only for a token... black rock star 

Sing no controversy... black rock star 

Sometimes for the flavor of japanese 

No communication but it's overseas 

Unaware of how propaganda works 

I soon became a victim, a trick at work 

With my black brotha's playin' rock & roll 

Signed and ho'in for a major label 

Selling my soul as a rock star 

Do the rock star ohh 

Do the rock star yeah 

Break a window, smash a tv 

We're some hott mother fucka's it's no doubt about 

We do the rock star ohh 

Do the rock star, yeah 

Get real drunk, fuck, fuck, fuck 

Kick in the radio, smash up a chair 

Do the rock star, wooh 

Do the rock star, yeah 

Wreck your hotel room, catch a lear jet 

Stay in debt, manic depressed 

Sweat & jerk to the best 

Smoke a cig, fuck, fuck, fuck 

Lie fry loosin' your mind like a rock star 

I got supposed fortune & fame 

With existential potential of runnin' the game 

But it the greedy of the whitey at the top of my frame that's 

Blurrin' my art piece 

Makin' it weak see 

Makin' it watered down 

Dilutin' my funky sound 

But it's all you need to be 

In this weak society 

Powder puffy rock star dumb 

Keepin' people stupid and dumb 

Do the rock star ooh 

Do the rock star hey 

Shoot up some heroin 

Snort some cocaine 

Smash your guitar 

Wreck a jet plane 

With a short gun to your brain 

For the price of fame 

Losers !!! 

? ? ? ? ? 

Kurt cobain meant nothing to me 

But now I just can't escape from the rains that drive me ape 

Of their white fear 

Through the television in my eyes in my ears 

Racism ! separation ! media ! 

So I guess you can say I'm an angry brotha 

Can't play my music 'cause of barrier of color 

Deep in debt with a seven record set 

Videos and funky shows but no one knows 

The major pain and misery of bein' radical 

Speakin' of what you feel in a world that's sad and dull 

But the rock star got the money and the fuck fuck right 

Action lights and plane flights 

Drugs and press but in reality 

It's a lot less when you're the rock star oooh
