If you want to be free
Then I want you to be
You're not mine anymore
You're public property
You're a slave to these people
Who don't even know you
You think they adore you
They do then they throw you away
Give the people what they want
You've got to give
The people what they want
Got to give
The people what they want
Rockstar
You can shine all alone
But you still need your friends
To remind you you're nothing
Unless you're plugged in
'Cause, baby, the truth is
You need their approval
They tell you you're cool
Hey, but look how you pay for it
Give the people what they want
You've got to give
The people what they want
Got to give
The people what they want
Rockstar
Rockstar
Rockstar
Oh, is that what you are?
There must be thousands of you
So your time is in crumbs now
Your image is dumbed down
You're full of it now
What about when it runs out?
'Cause maybe you'll come back
And maybe I'll be here
You're already gone so just go
'Cause they're waiting for you
Yeah you
You've got to give
The people what they want
Got to give
The people what they want
Oh, is that what you are?
