1. Rockstar (I.H.S.)

You survived through what you thought you never could
and it's what's in those eyes that saw you through.
If a face is all we can take away from these days,
then know, goddamn, is it worth the hells you’ve stayed.

Hey, you have to love yourself,
someday you'll be flat on your face.
Hey, you have to love yourself someday,
you'll be bigger than this place.

All your words, were they ever good for the kids,
or would they've been better to have never known our names?
Packed in carcinogens and failed attempts at better life,
drinking as discipline to warm the apathy in these stale times.

You gotta die young and far from this town.

Hey, you have to live with your mistakes
when you are flat on your face.
Hey, you have to laugh through all the pain.
You’ll be bigger than this place.

[Remember you’re a real rock star when your fans are your friends,
and those pushing you up already know what makes you stand]

Come on die young,*
or get the fuck out of town.

Hey! You have to love yourself,
someday you'll be flat on your face.
We'll commemorate your fall as a martyr,
lighting fires to altars in your honor.

Hey! You have to love yourself,
someday you'll be bigger than this place.
And we'll celebrate and raise the flame
as we reclaim it all in this name.

Hey! Hey! You have to love yourself
any and every way you can.

* Mogwai
