They'll be making sure you stay amused They'll fill you up with drugs and booze Maybe you'll make the evenin' news And when you're trippin' over your dreams They'll keep you down by any means By the end of the night You'll be stiflin' your screams Since you became a V.I. Person It's like your problems have all worsened Your paranoia casts aspersions On the truths you know And they'll just put you in a spotlight And hope that you'll do alright Or maybe not Now why do you wanna go And put starz in their eyes? Why do you wanna go And put starz in their eyes? So why do you wanna go And put starz in their eyes? Now why do you wanna go And put starz in their eyes? Starz in their eyes Remember they said you'd show them all Emphasize the rise but not the fall And now you're playin' a shoppin' mall Your mum and dad, they can't believe What you appear to have achieved While the rest of these users Are just laughin' in their sleeves Since you became a V.I. Person It's like your problems have all worsened Your paranoia casts aspersions On the truths you know And now the tabloids use your face To document your fall from grace And then they'll tell you that That's just the way it goes That's just the way it goes Now why do you wanna go And put starz in their eyes? It's the same old story Well they just didn't realize And it's a long way to come From the dog and duck karaoke machine And Saturday night's drunken dreams Now why do you wanna go And put starz in their eyes? It's the same old story Well, they just didn't realize And it's a long way to come From your private bedroom dance routines And Saturday night's drunken dreams Now why do you wanna go And put starz in their eyes? Why do you wanna go And put starz in their eyes? So why do you wanna go And put starz in their eyes? Now why do you wanna go And put starz in their eyes? Starz in their eyes? Now why do you wanna go And put starz in their eyes? It's the same old story Well, they just didn't realize And it's a long way to come From the dog and duck karaoke machine Saturday night's drunken dreams When I grow up I'm goin' to be famous Behind the steel barrier, sequence and glitter Five inch heels still knee deep in the litter Each of them a bitter bullshitter Wrapped up in the cloak of fake glamor Gettin' lost in the camera Well, footprints are fool's gold And diamonds crust their glitz on their one off plimsolls So little time for these one off arseholes Rigor mortis Ken and Barbie dolls A pair of big shades and a push up bra It's such a short gap between the gutter and stars But you've come a long way from the place that you started So why'd you wanna go and get so down hearted Welcome to the kingdom of the blagger Uncuttin' your nose, clean coat in your bladder A whole lot happier, a whole lot sadder Used to be satisfied, now you feel like Mick Jagger Now why do you wanna go And put starz in their eyes? It's the same old story Well they just didn't realize And it's a long way to come From the dog and duck karaoke machine Saturday night's drunken dreams Now why do you wanna go And put starz in their eyes? It's the same old story Well they just didn't realize And it's a long way to come From your private bedroom dance routines And Saturday night's drunken dreams
