Stardom In Acton

Stardom in action, that's all they got
Stardom in action, that's all they got
Stardom in action, that's all they got

Just like the grub that wriggles to the top of the mass
I'm the first to get hooked
Just like the stub of that long cigarette full of hash
I'm the last to get booked

But I'm incapable, my love's inescapable
Conquering lethargy, I've got energy

Stardom, I want a hit
Want my tan, want my cash, want my innocence
Stardom, I want a script
Want my band, want my stash, want omnipotence

I'll go where the senescent soldier retires
And shiver in South California
Watching the storms and the tangling wires
And rivers that meet on the corner

Like some prostitute handing round the loot
I am not ashamed, I will stake a claim

Stardom, born in a trunk
Got my home, got my car, got stability
Stardom, Hollywood son
All alone, don't admire anonymity

I'm so angry that you turned me on
I didn't remain your friend too long
I'm so angry that you turned me on
I didn't stay your friend for too long

I'm so angry that you let me see
My totally futile destiny
I'm so angry, you interrupted my dream
Now I know that the power rests in me

Stardom, I want a hit
Want my tan, want my cash, want my innocence
Stardom, I want a script
Want my band, want my stash, want omnipotence

Stardom, born in a trunk
Got my home, got my car, got stability
Stardom, well I'm Hollywood son
All alone, don't admire anonymity

Stardom in action, that's all they got
Stardom in action, that's all they got
Stardom in action, that's all they got
Stardom in action, that's all they got
