 I got something now to think about I'll work all day but not to pay it out Keep on working, keep on working Don't care if they say where a dying race I'd rather be here than any other place Keep on working, keep on working Keep on working, keep on working And there's another whirl, they can't ever touch Just need a boy and girl, it don't cost you much And if your luck is in you might have kids at play To make you laugh and sing when you're old and gray

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 tangled 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's son, all alone, don't admire anonymity
