lyrics

well you think you really got it, girl
you think you got it right down now to a "t"
yeah, you think you got it goin' on
with all your knowledge and your wit and your petty bourgeoisie
oh, you're such a martyr, girl
i know you think you came from the salt of the great, big ol' earth
well it's time for your wake-up call
smell the coffee, baby, it's time to find out what you are worth

quit wasting my time with this mockery
endless pleasantries, over and over again
this charade is goin' on indefinitely
endless agony, over and over again
but what do you care...

cuz you're a superstar! yeah, you're a star!
you're a superstar! yeah, you're a star!
everyone loves you
everyone wants to be you
everyone worships each step you take
hanging on to every word you enunciate
you're a star!
superstar

yeah, you think you know what it's like
to walk around this town in everyone else's shoes
but you know it's not the same thing, baby
and i know this will probably be news
you suck the life right out of me
communicating is like talking to the same ol' damn brick wall
you make me wish that your mama and your daddy
never got together to make a baby, yes you baby, at all

you seek attention like it's a shopping spree
endless soliciting, over and over again
show a sign of life and you're bugging me
endless eliciting, over and over and over again
but what do you care...

cuz you're a superstar! yeah, you're a star!
you're a superstar! yeah, you're a star!
everyone wants you
everyone wants to be with you
everyone worships each step you take
hanging on to every word you enunciate
you're a star!
superstar
