Matt Wixson - The Longevity of (Some) Rockstars Is Unfortunate Lyrics

You can get on stage every night to a sold out crowd
60 bux a seat, and the beer is probably $8 or so
Something tells me you're nothing more than attention whore
You don't need the money but you'll gladly pocket it
All you do is sing and star in camera commercials
Must be pretty hard cuz of drugs in the 70's
Get a teleprompter because everyone feels bad for you
Give the fans the best show without doing any work

I'll forget the words to a song I wrote a week ago
And you'll forget the words to a song you've sung for 20 years
You can be the biggest fucking rockstar on the planet
But when I sing about you I already know the words

It goes
La lalala lalala lalalalala
La lalala lalala lalalalala
La lalala lalala lalalalala
La lalala lalalalalalala

Give me a frontman who puts a little effort in
Presence is fine but just sing the Armageddon song
If it's so hard to keep doing the bare minimum
Then I think it's time that you quit playing shows
If I had my way I would never see your face again
Name recognition is only for the shittiest
You should've done so much coke that you overdosed
Or maybe just died in a Buddy Holly plane

I'll forget the words to a song I wrote a week ago
And you'll forget the words to a song you've sung for 20 years
You can be the biggest fucking rockstar on the planet
But when I sing about you I already know the words

It goes
La lalala lalala lalalalala
La lalala lalala lalalalala
La lalala lalala lalalalala
La lalala lalalalalalala

I'll forget the words to a song I wrote a week ago
And you'll forget the words to a song you've sung for 20 years
You can be the biggest fucking rockstar on the planet
But when I sing about you I already know the words

It goes
La lalala lalala lalalalala
La lalala lalala lalalalala
La lalala lalala lalalalala
La lalala lalalalalalala
