Nickelback - Rockstar


Something you should know about Rockstar Lyrics

Title: Nickelback - Rockstar lyrics

Artist: Nickelback

Print: Nickelback - Rockstar Lyrics print version





Complimentary "Rockstar" Ringtone



I'm through with standin in line
To clubs I'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the nineth
And I'm never gonna win
This life just hasn't turned out
Quite the way I want it to be

(tell me what you want)

I want a brand new house
On an episode of cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub
Big enough for ten plus me

(so what ya need)

I need a a credit card thats got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet

(been there done that)

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and
James Dean is fine with me

(so how ya gonna do it)

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name

Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
Livin in top houses
Drivin fifteen cars
The girls come easy
And the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny
Cuz we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy Bunny
With their bleach blond hair

And well...
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
so I can eat my meals for free

(I'll have a quesadilla haha)

I'm gonna dress my ass
with the latest fashions
Get a front door key to the Playboy Mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
blow my money for me

(so how ya gonna do it)

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name

Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
Livin in top houses
Drivin fifteen cars
The girls come easy
And the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny
Cuz we just won't eat
And we'll hangout at the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold diggers
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy Bunny
With their bleach blond hair

And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and
Todays who's who
We'll get you anything
With that evil smile
Everybody's got a
Drug dealer on speed dial

well...
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I'm gonna sing those songs
That offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills
From a pez dispenser
Get washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip syng 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong

Well we all just a wanna be big rockstars
Live in hilltop houses
Driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy
And the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny
Cuz we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With the bleach blond hair

And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and
Todays who's who
We'll get you anything
With that evil smile
Everybody's got a
Drug dealer on speed dial well..

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

Nickelback feat.Santana - Into The Night
Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell,
It was love from above, that could save me from hell, She had fire in her soul it was easy to see,
how the devil himself could be pulled out of me, There were drums in the air as she started to dance,
Every soul in the room keeping time with there hands,
And we sang…

(Chorus)
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And the voices rang like the angels sing,
And singing…
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And we danced on into the night,
Ay oh ay oh,
Ay oh ay oh,
And we danced on into the night,

Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place,
You could tell how we felt from the look on our faces,
we was spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes,
No room left to move in between you and I,
We forgot where we were and we lost track of time,
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night,
And we sang…

(Chorus)
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And the voices rang like the angels sing,
And singing…
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And we danced on into the night,
Ay oh ay oh,
Ay oh ay oh,

And we danced on into the night,
Ay oh ay oh,
Ay oh ay oh,
And we danced on into the night,

(solo)

Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell,
It was love from above, that could save me from hell, She had fire in her soul it was easy to see,
how the devil himself could be pulled out of me, There were drums in the air as she started to dance,
Every soul in the room keeping time with there hands,
And we sang…

(Chorus)
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And the voices rang like the angels sing,
And singing…
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And we danced on into the night,
Ay oh ay oh,
Ay oh ay oh,
And we danced on into the night,
(And the voices rang like the angels sing),
Ay oh ay oh,
Ay oh ay oh,
And we danced on into the night,
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
(Ay oh ay oh),
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
(Ay oh ay oh),
Singing ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
(Ay oh ay oh),
And we danced on into the nïght…

29. The only way I can envision myself...
Edited on Mon Jun-02-08 10:42 PM by Kutjara
...even uttering the name of this contemptible squad of tone deaf hacks, would be in some implausible scenario in which I had just paid five cents to hear one of their songs. I would then be most aggressively demanding my nickel back.

40. Okay, I admit, that one line in "Photograph" (or whatever it's called) cracked me up.
The idea of this 30-year-old, by-now-wealthy man asking himself "Should I go back and try to graduate ?" is pretty hilarious.

See, I TRIED to say something semi-positive about Nickelback... :evilgrin:

a new dimension from which to perpetuate the great Nickleback music on the masses.

60. but they won't be "gone"
you just won't be able to see them or their fans anymore, they will see you and EVERYTHING you do...

no need to be paranoid though, it is just reality. Tell your friends about it, or your doctor, and you will be locked up and heavily medicated, 'cause they are also Nickleback fans! :spray:

67. In addition to making shitty music, Chad Kroeger is also a complete douchebag.
Edited on Tue Jun-03-08 12:23 AM by primate1
He's been arrested for drunk driving, he played a KNOWN family even and acted like it was a 19+ show (lots of profanity, begging for someone to give him weed, and throwing beer out into the audience) and then basically said "Hey, they should have known what they were getting into when they hired us to play" and here are his thoughts on the war in Iraq:

"If there are some fucking assholes anywhere with the ability to launch a weapon of mass destruction and hurt any of those things that I love or anybody anywhere, then that's a problem that has to be dealt with.

"Everybody's sitting around going, 'Oh, don't go to war, don't go to war,' " he continued. "Well, we're going to war for a reason: Saddam Hussein is a madman. If there would have been any nuclear capability on any of the Scud missiles he launched , do you think he would have not done it? He would have done it in a heartbeat. That absolutely terrifies me."

So yeah. Shitty music, shitty dude.

71. See, this is what your country gave us, peon
Though I'll be honest - I really thought that Chad Kroeger was a good old fashioned American redneck hick douchebag... I just didn't expect it from Canada.

72. Someday
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c9RmtC-8mI
How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables

I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
Dont think its too late

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when

Well i hoped that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)

73. But I don't appreciate Nickelback
I despise them.
But it's cool if others like them.

75. The video for "If Everyone Cared" has an excellent message, and it makes the song semi tolerable
but thats it.
