One More Rock Star

kit, bass, guitar, synth, e. pno, voice, tambourine, drum machine, cowbell, maracas, drum loops


Give us one more rock star and we'll be ok
Let just one more rock star up to lead the way
Then that one more rock star will stop war machines
Beautiful young rock star on the rock star scene
Amassing wealth to use it for good
Bring the future and stuff to your neighbourhood

One more rock star
That oughta do it
Today looks bleak but he'll carry us through it
His super power is fame
Invincible when we know his name
He's got to be the hottest brand
If he's going to share his master plan

If there's one more rock star hope will spread its wings
Have just one more rock star doing rock star things
Then that one more rock star will stop war machines
Beautiful young rock star on the rock star scene
Gaining trust to use it for good
Airdrop charisma like any good rock star would

One more rock star
That's clearly the answer
Lover, fighter, CEO and dancer
She'll save the world on stage
Do the right thing on the front page
But she's got to sell out everywhere
Before she'll give a shit about polar bears

Give us one more rock star and we'll be ok
Let just one more rock star up to lead the way
Then that one more rock star will stop war machines
Beautiful young rock star on the rock star scene
Amassing wealth to use it for good
Bring the future and stuff to your neighbourhood

And give the world a song that goes:

Can't we all get along?
Can't we all get along?
Can't we all get along?
Can't we all get along?

Give us one more rock star and we'll be ok
Let just one more rock star up to lead the way
Then that one more rock star will stop war machines
Beautiful young rock star on the rock star scene
Amassing wealth to use it for good
Bring the future and stuff to your neighbourhood

Can't we all get along?
Warren Anderson (CEO of Union Carbide in 1984)
Can't we all get along?

Can't we all get along?

Can't we all get along?

Can't we all get along?
