Star People '97 - Radio Edit

Star people
Counting your money until it all turns green
Star people
Counting the cost of your desire to be seen
I do not count myself among you
I may have been living in a dream
It's just that there ain't so many of you
Can't help but hope there's a difference between
If I lived to be 101, I would never understand what you want
I'm looking for sympathy
Just get me on NBC
And where the hell's my dumb ass VR
Maybe your mama gave you up for
It's the same old, same old
Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough
How much is enough?
Star people
Never forget the secrets they will need you
Look at all the wonderful people
They're trying to forget just who and what they have been
Oh, it's a dream
With a nightmare stuck in the middle
Are you serious?
I'm just curious
Without all of this attention, you'd die a lot, die a lot
If I lived to be 101, wouldn't that be better?
I would never understand just why
I'm looking for sympathy
From people who watch me bleed
And they don't really seem to mind
Maybe your mama gave you up for
It's the same old, same old
Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough
How much is enough?
How much is enough?
How much is enough?
I'm just curious
Are you serious?
I'm just curious
Are you serious?
I'm just curious
Are you serious?
I'm just curious
Are you serious?
Let's go back to the day
Hey
DJ
Backwards
Is that why you're here?
Why'd you want to tell me that?
Is that what made you start?
DJ
Backwards
Is that why you're here?
Get yourself some Oprah cash
Do you ever think you've got this so hard?
Is that what made you start?
Do you think it might do you some good to look
Around you and decide how you might feel?
Maybe if that was real
Oh
Baby
Tell me
Back, backwards
Is that why you're here?
Now nothing comes from nothing, baby
That fame and fortune's heavy scent
And who gives a -- about your problems, darling?
'Cause you can pay the rent
You can pay, pay, pay, pay, pay
Baby
Pay, baby
You can pay
Is that why you're here?
