Nouveau Rockstar

Sweet · Other Songs - 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
