Pete Townshend - Stardom In Action Lyrics
Stardom in action that's all they got.Just like the grub that wriggles to the top of the massI'm the first to get hookedJust like the stub of that long cigarette full of hashI'm the first to get booked.But I'm incapableMy love's inescapableConquering lethargyI've got energyStardom - I want a hitWant my tan, want my cash, want my innocence.Stardom - I want a scriptWant my band, want my stash, want omnipotence.I'll go where the senescent soldier retiresAnd shiver in south California,Watching the storms and the tangling wireAnd rivers that meet on the corner.Like some prostituteHanding round the loot,I am not ashamedI will stake a claim.Stardom - born in a trunkGot my home, got my car, got stabilityStardom - I'm Hollywood's sonAll alone don't admire anonimity.I'm so angry that you turned me on,I didn't remain your friend for too longI'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 seeMy totally futile destiny.I'm so angry - you interrupted my dream,Now I know that the power rests in me.Stardom in action that's all they got
