Lyrics
I saw a music Ad online the other day
It said that there just might be a good way
For an artist to reach fortune and a fame
All you have to do is get in the game
Just mail your money to this here address
And we'll get your music out to the press
And get your songs playing on the air
For a price that you'll think is very fare
You give us money we'll give you fame
Life as you know it won't be the same
The title rockstar will be your name
You give us money we'll give you fame
We'll help you make it to the very top
There won't be time to make any stops
And if that plan doesn't seem work out
Pay us more and we'll take a different route
Purchase our best package and you'll be really set
You'll be a star in no time you can bet
Sign our contract and be on our roster
It's your great career that we will foster
You give us money we'll give you fame
Life as you know it won't be the same
The title rockstar will be your name
You give us money we'll give you fame
For more money you'll get a great review
You'll be so busy with a million things to do
And when you get a break and you're a big hit
It a be from the purchase of our platinum press kit
So when you're famous and living like a king
Besides being a pleasure just to hear you sing
All we would ask is just one more small thing
Half your royalties and all your publishing
You give us money we'll give you fame
Life as you know it won't be the same
The title rockstar will be your name
You give us money we'll give you fame
So watch out for all the sleazebags in this biz
They'll say a lot of that but just a bit of this
You can't go from poor to living like a king
When someone tells you this very thing
You give us money we'll give you fame
Life as you know it won't be the same
The title rockstar will be your name
You give us money we'll give you fame
