Popstar
Someones got to be the hero
Someones got to do the job
Someones got to do the business
Someones got to be the fool
Someones got to be the hero
Someones got to do the job
Someones got to be the clown whos creating the sound and makes the world go round

Im a topstar,rock star,shooting star,falling star,hero and a sample success
I got gold-plated toilet tissue
Money never is an issue
TV people call me as their guest (Scatting)
I got low hangin trousers all the way to the top
All the things a home boy could ever be
My life is so upgraded
My egos so inflated
That Ive become an X-rated fantasy (Yeah)
Someones got to be the hero
Someones got to do the job

Im the Captain of Charisma and the Sultan of the Soul

I take my name as serious as any popstar can
Ima leader and an icon and a revolution man
Im starring in a video Im to hot to flop
Im the goal of every seeker and my ratings never drop

Well I'm rising to the top and you can see Im really hot
And you know Im everything I portray
Im so hip-slickin cool and so charismic as a rule
That I dont take the time to finish what I say
Popstar,lollipop,popsicle,hall of fame
Look at me,Im bigger than life
Ive got patent leather shoes and I never pay my booze
And I dont sing the blues or take a wife
Everthing youve heard me say so far is a joke
An open mind and sense of humour is our only hope
I want to say just one more thing before I move along
I betcha really glad were near the end on the song
I leave you now,take a bow
Hope you all agree
A popstar isnt everything its cracked up to be
If I have to do anything its what I wanna say
A pop is an explosion,all youve got is you today
Someones got to be the hero
Someones got to do the job
Someones got to do the business
Someones got to be the fool
Someones got to be the hero
Someones got to do the job
Someones got to be the clown whos creating the sound and makes the world go round
