lyrics

Superstar

Superstar, look at you,
Shining through and through,
But you best beware,
Of breathing such thin air.

Superstar, spread about,
Not long, 'fore your secrets out,
But watch your back
For things that you lack.

You run around like Jesus Christ,
On a crack trail,
All that glitters isn't gold,
But all that's gold is for sale.

Superstar, painted gold,
You do what you're told,
You base your esteem,
On splitting cotton seams

You claim to be a righteous soul,
With a strong belief,
But you're nothing more, than dirty scum
Oh a common, common thief.
