Lyrics:

[Elliot]:
There's a girl in the backyard bangin' on her drum
Sittin' in a junk pile laughing at the sun
Singin': "Ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar"
There's a boy in the backseat singin' to the song
Playin' on the radio, knowing he's the one
Singin': "Ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar"
Yeah, yeah

[Kurt and Elliot]:
Singin': "Ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar"

[Kurt]:
There's a girl in the tree top looking at the stars
Waiting for a touchdown comin' in from Mars
Thinkin': "Is there anybody out there?"

[Elliot]:
Oooh
There's a boy thinking of her, playin' his guitar
Searching for the answer buried in his heartThinkin': "Ah ha ha, is there anybody out there?" Ooh yeah

[Kurt and Elliot]:
Singin': "Ah ha ha, is there anybody out there?"

If there's a meaning can you show me a sign
The more I look it just gets harder to find
The world is spinnin' and I wanna know why

[Elliot]:
And we're all getting older wishin' we were young
Hangin' on the memory of what we would become

Singin': "Ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar"

[Kurt]:
I was born to be a rockstar

[Elliot]:
Singin': "Ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar"

[Kurt]:
I just wanna be a rockstar

[Kurt and Elliot]:
Singin': "Ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar"

If there's a meaning can you show me a sign
The more I look it just gets harder to find
The world is spinnin' and I wanna know why
And maybe we will never figure it out
I got a feelin' that's what life's all about
I'm learning anything is possible now

[Elliot]:
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Kurt]:
Take a ticket and get off the line

[Elliot]:
Take a ticket and get off the line

[Kurt]:
Take a ticket and get off the line

[Elliot]:
Take a ticket and get off the line

[Kurt and Elliot]:
So take a ticket and get off the line
Singin': "Ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar"
Take a ticket and get off the line
So take a ticket and get off the line
Singin': "Ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar"
Take a ticket and get off the line
I was born to be a rockstar
Yeah, yeah
I was born to be a rockstar
Yeah, yeah, ooh yeah
I was born to be a rockstar
