Rock Star In My Living Room
Lyrics and music by Joe Merrick ©
Flipping through the pages of a Rolling Stone
Thinking that I might be better off unknown
Cause the truth of the matter is I don’t belong
Now that the seventies are gone
Tired of playing Monday nights in empty rooms
Singing my heart out to the tables and brooms
All of the artists are lonely and stranded
Finding their way home drunk and empty handed
If it’s all just a matter of luck
I’ll put my efforts into making a buck
In my spare time I’ll write a tune
And be a rock star in my living room
I could say anything in these here spaces
while the college girls dance with drunken faces
They’d follow me wherever I’d go
Only if they saw me on a video
I sing the songs of superstars
Cause nobody listens in local bars
But I really don’t have to be understood
I don’t even have to be that good
So give me a mirror and I’m on top
Striking poses with a microphone prop
It’s sad but it’s true that in the end
I’d rather stay home here and pretend
