Commercial Success

 

 

I want to be a commercial success

So I can be just like the rest

I want to be a commercial success

So I can be just like the rest

Fame and fortune and a brand new car

I’ll own a Lincoln and a New York bar

I won’t be happy 'til they call be a star

So there

 

I want to be in a rock and roll band

Smokin’ dope in the back of the van

I want to be in a rock and roll band

Rolling joints and snortin’ cocaine

I’ll fly to Dallas on a big jet plane

I’ll hear ‘em screamin’ and shoutin’ my name

So there

 

I want to be an American dream

Make a million while I’m still in my teens

I want to be an American dream

Make a million while I’m still in my teens

I’ll grow my hair 'til it touches my knees

I’ll call my banker whenever I please

I’ll have a groupie wipe my nose when I sneeze

So there

 

Repeat first verse
