I’ve seen you in the magazines and I’m really glad you’re famous
It never meant that much to me but now I understand

The way you walked away from your commitments and your promises
You know how to play the game you’ll never know the way to be a man

Oh boy you’ll never be the man now
Oh boy, you want to be a star, yeah
Oh boy, you’re only peter pan now
And you depend on everyone to tell the world exactly what you are

Well 26 has come and gone, more quickly than it came to you
Everything you’ve done before is only in the past

Well, you should keep a gun nearby, I hope you get the courage
Dying young is the only way you’re ever going to last

Chorus

You’ve been fucking for fame since you were 16, everybody knows
Stolen kisses, something’s missing, hey man come or go

I’ll see you at the show

Oh boy, I see you with your friends now
Oh boy, pretending you’re a star, yeah
Oh boy, there’s no way you can hurt me now

Ignorance is everything and you’ve revealed exactly what you are

You’re not some rock star
You’re not some rock star
You’re not some rock star
You’re not some rock star
