I'm working 9 to 5, it's like I'm buried alive
My boss is always on my case and I hate him
He's got a Mercedes Benz with really lame a** rims
And I'm stuck at the bus stop waiting
His girlfriend is 18 and my girl just dumped me
She said "You can't afford me" and went for the money, the money, money, money
I wish I was a rock star (Oh oh oh oh)
Breaking all the girls' hearts (Oh oh oh oh)
If I was Eddie Vedder (Oh oh oh oh)
I bet you'd like me better (Oh oh oh oh)
Doing shots of Patron with P!nk and Emma Stone
And the paparazzi stalk us when they carry me home
I wish I'd learnt to play the damn guitar
I wish I was a rock star
I wish I was a rock star
When I got home from work, it went from bad to worse
My roomie sold my Xbox for a six pack
I wanna kick his a** and get all my cash back
But he's six foot four and a douchebag
So I'm heading to LA with the guitar I can't play
Hoping to someday make a lot of money, money, money, money
I wish I was a rock star (Oh oh oh oh)
Breaking all the girls' hearts (Oh oh oh oh)
If I was Eddie Vedder (Oh oh oh oh)
I bet you'd like me better (Oh oh oh oh)
Doing shots of Patron with P!nk and Emma Stone
And the paparazzi stalk us when they carry me home
I wish I'd learnt to play the damn guitar
I wish I was a rock star
I wish I was a rock star
I learnt a couple of chords and kept the verses short
It was sad but now it's kinda funny
I wrote a catchy song that went to number 1
About a girl that left me for the money
Now I am a rock star (Oh oh oh oh)
Breaking all the girls' hearts (Oh oh oh oh)
Hanging out with Vedder (Oh oh oh oh)
I bet you'd like me better (Oh oh oh oh)
Doing shots of Patron with P!nk and Emma Stone
I bet you wish you were the one who got to carry me home
Thank God I learnt to play the damn guitar
And I thank you for the way you broke my heart
Cause now I am a rock star
I am a rock star
I'm a rock star
