[ELLIOTT (& KURT)]
There's a girl in the backyard banging on her drum
Sitting in a junk pile laughing at the sun
Singing "Ah-ah-ah, I just wanna be a rockstar"
There's a boy in the backseat singing to the song
Playing on the radio, knowing he's the one
Singing "Ah-ah-ah, I just wanna be a rockstar"
Eh, yeah
(Singing "Ah-ah-ah, I was born to be a rockstar")
[KURT]
There's a girl in the tree top looking at the stars
Waiting for a touchdown coming in from Mars
Thinking "Is there anybody out there?"
[ELLIOTT]
Oooh
There's a boy thinking of her playing his guitar
Searching for the answer buried in his heart
Thinking "Ah-ah-ah, is there anybody out there?"
Ooh, yeah
[ELLIOTT & KURT]
Singing "Ah-ah-ah"
[KURT with ELLIOTT]
"Is there anybody out there?"
[ELLIOTT with KURT]
If there's a meaning can you show me a sign?
The more I look it just gets harder to find
The world is spinning and I wanna know why
[ELLIOTT & (KURT)]
And we're all getting older wishing we were young
Hanging on the memory of what we would become
Singing "Ah-ah-ah, I was born to be a rockstar" (I was born to be a rockstar)
Singing "Ah-ah-ah, I just wanna be a rockstar" (I just wanna be a rockstar)
[ELLIOTT with KURT]
Singing "Ah-ah-ah, 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
[ELLIOTT]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[KURT]
Take a ticket and get off the line
[ELLIOTT]
Take a ticket and get off the line
[KURT]
Take a ticket and get off the line
[ELLIOTT]
Take a ticket and get off the line
[KURT & (ELLIOTT)]
So take a ticket and get off the line (Singing "Ah-ah-ah, I was born to be a rockstar")
Take a ticket and get off the line
Take a ticket and get off the line (Singing "Ah-ah-ah, 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, uh yeah)
[ELLIOTT with KURT]
I was born to be a rockstar
