Rock ’n’ roller the games you play / High flyer, see your name in lights / Temporarily social suicide / Oh, don’t you tell me it’s rough / At the top you get the cream of the crop / Image seekers they’re unreal to real / This week breaker, well next week who knows / Oh, don’t you tell me it’s rough / Oh, don’t you tell me it’s tough

Star / That’s what they call you / How long you’ve waited to get where you are / Star / That’s what you wanted / This week hot shot, a video star

Rock ’n’ roller inventing in your head / You cracked it once and you can do it again / Who knows, who cares at where you’re coming from / Oh, don’t you tell me it’s rough / Just a loner out there on your own / Don’t let anyone get close or near / Imagine that, that you believe all you read / Oh, don’t you tell me it’s rough / Oh, don’t you tell me it’s tough

Star / That’s what they call you / How long you’ve waited to get where you are / Star / That’s what you wanted / This week hot shot, a video star

They can build you up / And they can break you down with just the right words / I know they’re heavy / Now just how many more like you are trying, trying…

Star / That’s what they call you / How long you’ve waited to get where you are / Star / That’s what you wanted / This week hot shot, a video star

Star / That’s what they call you / How long you’ve waited to get where you are / Star / That’s what you wanted / This week hot shot, a video star

Star…
