Nouveau Rock Star - Sweet

Rockstar why can’t you see

Rockstar won’t do it for free

If you got the money he will play the licks

Rockstar he don’t do it for kicks

Ain’t got no feeling his chequebook rules his soul

Rockstar won’t be long before he’s old (news)

See his fingers flying in a blur of tired notes

I guess what’s more important is his

haircut and long pink coat

Nouveau rockstar trying too hard

Brandnew sportscar drives it ten yards

Nouveau rockstar heads gone too far out

You think you’re really special

But you’re nothing

Ah-ha a hired gun

Rockstar makes a living on the run

Can’t seem to settle

Wants a life on easy street

Rockstar which band is it this week

He’s leaving with his stash of other people’s riffs

Rockstar da dit dit dit dit dit

Another computation of the heavy metal clone

Saying he’s the king bee

but he’s just another drone

Nouveau rockstar trying too hard

Brandnew sportscar drives it ten yards

Nouveau rockstar heads gone too far out

You think you’re really special

But you’re nothing

Signed up with a major speed guitar

and all the tricks

Yesterday’s sensation

now he’s on the transfer list

Nouveau rockstar trying too hard

Brandnew sportscar drives it ten yards

Nouveau rockstar heads gone too far out

You think you’re really special

Ha-ha
