rock star

ben folds

if you wanna be free

then i want ya to be

you're not mine anymore

you're public property

and your seconds are crumbs and you get them freely

you're a slave to these people who don't even know you

and think they adore you

they use you and throw you away

give the people what they want

you've got to give the people what they want

got to give the people what they want

rock star

you've adapted the manners of somebody else

i don't even know you

you're somebody else

but baby

the truth is

you need their approval

to tell you you're cool

and you're willing to pay tooth and nail

finally give them what they want

you've got to give the people what they want

you've got to give the people what they want

rock star

rock star

so maybe you'll come back

and maybe i'll be here

you're already gone

so just go

cuz they're waiting for you

got to give the people what they want

you've got to give the people what they want

you've got to give the people what they want
