If you are what you say you are
a superstar
Then have no fear the cameras here
And the microphone And they wanna know
oh oh oh
If you are what you say you are
a superstar
Then have no fear the crowd is here
And the lights are on And they wanna show
oh oh oh yeah
Yeah uh
A fresh cool young Lu'
tryna catch his microphone check two one two
Wanna believe my own hype but it's too untrue
The world brought me to my knees
what have you brung you
Did you improve on the design
Did you do somethin' new
Well your name ain't on the guest list
who brung you
You the more famous person you come through
And the sexy lady next to you
you come too
And then it hit me
Standin' outside of heaven waitin' for
God to come and get me
I'm too uncouth
Unschooled to the rules
and too gumshoe
Too much of a newcomer
and too uncool
Like Shadow and Lavelle
I battle with it well
Though I need holiday like lady who sung Blue
Go back whatever you did you undo
Heavy as heaven
The devil on me two ton's too
If you are what you say you are
a superstar
Then have no fear the crowd is here
And the lights are on
And they wanna show
oh oh oh yeah
And you better wear shades
The spotlights here can burn holes through the stage
Down to the basement
past the Indian graves
Where the dinosaurs laid
Then out through China nearly miss the airliners
Magnified times five
'less it's pointed at the rhyme
Ricochets off the moon and sets the forest ablaze
Now that's important to say
Cause even with all that most of us
don't want it to fade
We want it to braid meaning we want it to grow
Meaning we want it to stay
Like the Governor called and he told him to wait
Un-strap him from the chair and put him back in his cage
The audience ain't fazed
And they ain't gonna clap and they ain't gonna praise
They want everything back that they've paid
Cause they've been waitin' since ten to see the lights get dim
If you are what you say you are
a superstar
Then have no fear the crowd is here
And the lights are on
And they wanna show
oh oh oh yeah
So chauffeur chauffeur come and take me away
Cause I've been standin' in this line for like five whole days
Me and security ain't gettin' along
And when I got to the front
they told me all of the tickets were gone
So just take me home where the mood is mellow
And the roses are grown M&Ms are yellow
And the light bulbs around my mirror don't flicker
Everybody gets a nice autographed picture
One for you and one for your sister
Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener
Every songs her favorite song and mics don't feedback
All the reviewers say
You need to go and see that
And everybody claps cause everybody is pleased
And then they all take the stage and start performin' for me
Like ha ha ha ha haa
Ha ha ha ha ha
If you are what you say you are
a superstar
Then have no fear the camera's here
And the microphone
And they wanna know
oh oh oh
If you are what you say you are
a superstar
Then have no fear the crowd is here
And the lights are on
And they wanna show
oh oh oh yeah
If you are what you say
You are
And have no fear
