Popstar

Someone's got to be the hero
Someone's got to do the job
Someone's got to do the business
Someone's got to be the fool

Someone's got to be the hero
Someone's got to do the job
Someone's got to be the clown
Who's creating the sound that makes the world go round

I'm a top star, rock star, shooting star, falling star
A hero and a sample of success
I got gold-plated toilet tissue
Money never is an issue

TV people call me as their guest
I got low hangin' trousers all the way to the top
All the things a homeboy could ever be
My life is so upgraded and my ego's so inflated
I've become an X-rated fantasy
Yeah!

Someone's got to be the hero
Someone's got to do the job
Someone's got to do the business
Someone's got to be the fool

Someone's got to be the hero
Someone's got to do the job
Someone's got to be the clown
Who's creating the sound that makes the world go round

I'm the Captain of Charisma and the Sultan of the Soul
One look and I can set y'all free
Just look at me, it's plain to see, it's obvious, you must agree
I'm everything you'll ever wanna be

I take my fame as serious as any popstar can
I'm a leader and an icon and a revolution man
I'm starring in a video and too hot to flop
I'm the goal of every seeker and my ratings never drop

Well I'm rising to the top and you can see I'm really hot
And you know I'm everything I portray
I'm so hip, slick, and cool and so charismatic
It's a rule that I don't take the time to finish what I say

Popstar, lollipop, popsicle, hall of fame
Look at me, I'm bigger than life
I've got patent leather shoes, ain't never paid no dues
And I don't ever sing the blues or take a wife

Everything you've heard me say so far is a joke
An open mind and sense of humor is our only hope
I want to say just one more thing before I move along
I'll bet you're really glad we're near the end on the song

I leave you now, take a bow, hope you all agree
A popstar isn't everything it's cracked up to be
If I have left you anything, here's what I wanna say
A pop is an explosion, all you've got is you today

Someone's got to be the hero
Someone's got to do the job
Someone's got to do the business
Someone's got to be the fool

Someone's got to be the hero
Someone's got to do the job
Someone's got to be the clown
Who's creating the sound that makes the world go round

Someone's got to be the hero
Someone's got to do the job
Someone's got to do the business
Someone's got to be the fool

Someone's got to be the hero
Someone's got to do the job
Someone's got to be the clown
Who's creating the sound and makes the world go round

Too hot to flop, too hot to flop (just look at me)
Too hot to flop, too hot to flop (yeah)
Too hot to flop, too hot to flop (just look at me)
Too hot to flop, too hot to flop
