If you are what
you say you are,
a superstar
then have no fear,
the camera's here
And the microphones
and they wanna know
oh oh oh oh
If you are what you
say you are,
a superstar
Then have no fear,
the crowd is here
And the lights are on
and they wanna show
oh oh oh oh, yeah
Yeah, uh
a fresh cool young Lu'
tryna catch his
microphone check
2, 1, 2
Wanna believe my
own hype but it's
too untrue
The world brought me
to my knees
what have you
brung you?
Did you improve
on the design?
Did you do
somethin' new?
Well your name ain't
on the guest list
who brung you?
You, the more famous
person you come through
and the sexy lady
next to you
you come too
And then it hit me
standin' outside of
heaven waitin' for God
to come and get me
I'm too uncouth
Unschooled to the rules
and too gum shoe
Too much of
a new comer
and too un-cool
Like Shadow
and Lavelle,
I battle with it well
Tho' I need a holiday like
lady who sung "Blue"
Go back, whatever you
did you undo
heavy as heaven
The devil on me,
two tons too
If you are what you
say you are,
a superstar
Then have no fear,
the camera's here
and the microphones
and they wanna know
oh oh oh oh, yeah
And you better wear
your shades
the spotlights here
can burn holes
through the stage
Down to the basement
pass the Indian graves
where the dinosaurs laid
Then out through China,
nearly miss the airliners
magnified times five 'less
it's pointed at the rhymer
richochets off the moon and
sets the forest ablaze
Oh now that's important
to say 'cos even with all
that most of us don't
want it to fade
We want it to braid
meaning we want
it to grow
meaning we want
it to stay
Like the Governor called
and he told him to wait
un-strap him from the
chair and put him
back in his cage
The audience ain't fazed
and they ain't gonna
clap and they ain't
gonna praise
They want everything
back that they've paid
'cos they've been waitin'
since ten to see the
lights get dim
If you are what you
say you are,
a superstar
Then have no fear,
the crowd is here
And the lights are on
and they wanna show
oh oh oh oh, yeah
So chauffeur chauffeur
come and take me away
'cos I've been standin'
in this line for like
five whole days
Me and security ain't
getting' along and when
I got to the front
they told me all of the
tickets were gone
So just take me home where
the mood is mellow and the
roses are grown and
M&M's are yellow
and the light bulbs around
my mirror don't flicker
Everybody gets a
nice autograph picture
One for you and
one for your sister
who had to work
tonight but is
an avid listener
Every songs her
favourite song and
mics don't feedback
All the reviewers say
"You need to go
and see that"
And everybody claps 'cos
everybody is pleased
and then they all take
the stage and start
performin' for me like ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
If you are what you
say you are,
a superstar
then have no fear,
the camera's here
And the microphone's
and they wanna know
oh oh oh oh
If you are what you
say you are,
a superstar
then have no fear,
the crowd is here
And the lights are on
and they wanna show
oh oh oh oh, yeah
If you are
what you say you are
Then have no fear
