Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They'll be making sure you stay amused
They'll fill you up with drugs and booze
Maybe you'll make the evening news
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Since you became a V. I. Person
It's like your problems have all worsened
Your paranoia casts aspersions
On the truths you know
[Verse 4]
And they'll just put you in a spotlight
And hope that you'll do alright
Or maybe not
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Remember they said you'd show them all
Emphasize the rise but not the fall
And now you're playin' a shopping mall
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Since you became a V. I. Person
It's like your problems have all worsened
Your paranoia casts aspersions
On the truths you know
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
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
[Verse 12]
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
[Verse 13]
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
[Verse 14]
When I grow up I'm goin' to be famous
[Verse 15]
Behind the steel barrier, sequence and glitter
Five inch heels still knee deep in litter
Each of them a bitter bullshitter
Wrapped up in the cloak of fake glamor
Gettin' lost in the camera
[Verse 16]
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
[Verse 17]
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
[Verse 18]
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
[Verse 19]
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
[Verse 20]
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
