[Intro]
This could be my big mistake
This could be my biggest break
This could be the one that puts me in the ground (Stop)
Shhh
Tell me why does everybody wanna be a star?
Eh, tell me why does everybody wanna be a star?

[Verse 1]
This could be huge and it don't need a reason
Making a hit while they hang me for treason
Keeping them glued just for one season
Somebody said this was gonna be easy
Used to be minutes, now turned into seconds
Fifteen reasons to act pretty reckless
In the future, they won't pay attention
Stuck at home in another dimension

[Chorus]
Why does everybody wanna be somebody?
Tell me why does everybody wanna be a star?
Why does everybody wanna be a star?
Eh, tell me why does everybody wanna be a?

[Verse 2]
Google, what does it mean to have purpose?
Asking Jeeves, was it really all worth it?
At the end when the earth draws the curtain
What do you see now? Hmm
All I think about pillage and plunder
Fame and fortune like lightning and thunder
Getting laid like the rest of the suburbs
Big as Jesus so that's why I wonder
[Chorus]
Why does everybody wanna be somebody?
Tell me why does everybody wanna be a star?
Why does everybody wanna be a star?
Eh, tell me why does everybody wanna be a?

[Bridge]
This could be my big mistake
This could be my biggest break
So tell me
Why do I wanna be a?
Ah, yeah, uh
Wanna be a star

[Chorus]
Tell me, well, tell me why does everybody wanna be a
Why does everybody wanna be somebody?
Wanna be a, wanna be
Why does everybody wanna be somebody?
I wanna be a
I wanna be a

[Outro]
Star
Tell me, tell me why do I wanna be a
Star
Tell me, tell me why do I wanna be a
