Lyrics
Elliott (and Kurt):
There's a girl in the backyard banging on her drum
Sitting in a junk pile laughing at the sun
Singing "Ah-ah-ah, I just wanna be a rockstar"
There's a boy in the backseat singing to the song
Playing on the radio, knowing he's the one
Singing "Ah-ah-ah, I just wanna be a rockstar"
Eh, yeah
(Singing "Ah-ah-ah, I was born to be a rockstar")
Kurt:
There's a girl in the tree top looking at the stars
Waiting for a touchdown coming in from Mars
Thinking "Is there anybody out there?"
Elliott:
Oooh
There's a boy thinking of her playing his guitar
Searching for the answer buried in his heart
Thinking "Ah-ah-ah, is there anybody out there?"
Ooh, yeah
Elliott and Kurt:
Singing "Ah-ah-ah"
Kurt with Elliott:"
"Is there anybody out there?"
Elliott with Kurt:
If there's a meaning can you show me a sign?
The more I look it just gets harder to find
The world is spinning and I wanna know why
Elliott (Kurt):
And we're all getting older wishing we were young
Hanging on the memory of what we would become
Singing "Ah-ah-ah, I was born to be a rockstar" (I was born to be a rockstar)
Singing "Ah-ah-ah, I just wanna be a rockstar" (I just wanna be a rockstar)
Elliott with Kurt:
Singing "Ah-ah-ah, I was born to be a rockstar"
Elliott with Kurt:
If there's a meaning can you show me a sign?
The more I look it just gets harder to find
The world is spinnin' and I wanna know why
And maybe we will never figure it out
I got a feelin' that's what life's all about
I'm learning anything is possible now
Elliott:
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Kurt:
Take a ticket and get off the line
Elliott:
Take a ticket and get off the line
Kurt:
Take a ticket and get off the line
Elliott:
Take a ticket and get off the line
Kurt (Elliott):
So take a ticket and get off the line (Singing "Ah-ah-ah, I was born to be a rockstar")
Take a ticket and get off the line
Take a ticket and get off the line (Singing "Ah-ah-ah, I just wanna be a rockstar")
Take a ticket and get off the line (I was born to be a rockstar, yeah-yeah)
I was born to be a rockstar (Yeah-yeah, uh yeah)
Elliott with Kurt:
I was born to be a rockstar
