Star people
Counting your money 'til your soul turns green
Star people
Counting the cost of your desire to be seen

I do not count myself among you
I may be living in a dream
It's just there seems so many of you
Can't help but hope there's a difference between
You and Me

You're a star
(I'm talking to you)
You're a star

Maybe your mama gave you up, boy
(It's the same old, same old)
Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough, girl
How much is enough?

Star people
Never forget your secret's safe with me
Just look at all the wonderful people
Trying to forget they had to pay for what you see

It's a dream
With a nightmare stuck in the middle
But listen, brother, where would you be
Without all this attention?
You'd die
I'd die
We'd die
Wouldn't we?
Well, wouldn't we?

You're a star
(I'm talking to you)
You're a star
And you should go far

Maybe your mama gave you up, boy
It's the same old, same old
Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough, girl
how much is enough?

I said, talk about your mother
Talk about your father
Talk about the people
Who have made you what you are
Talk about your teacher
The bully boy that beat ya
Talk about the people that have paid
For that new sports car

Did you get off on a bad foot, baby?
Do you have a little tale to tell?
Is that why you're a star?
Is that what makes a star?

Well, nothing comes from nothing, baby
That fame and fortune's heaven-sent
And who gives a fuck about your problems, darling
When you can pay the rent?

How much is enough?
