Rockstar [explizit] [English translation]

Refrain: Bloc Party

Turning away from the light,

becoming adult,

turning into myself.

I wanted to bite, not destroy,

to feel her underneath,

turning into the light.

Baby, look at me,

I’m a rock star!

I’m a never shaven,

fucked up dude, a stinking rich ashtray ¹

I’ve got more parts built in

than a Swiss Army Knife ²

I just sit back, chillax, and ³

weasel my way out of work ⁴

Before every show, I go back stage and

weasel my way out of work

‘cause I’m a rock star!

And run riot at your party

and everyone just writes “go home!”

like it was in the Gestapo ⁵

I’m stoned white trash,

cock-sure on hard drugs,

don’t need a private jet,

‘cause I’m already stuck up enough ⁶

Refrain: Bloc Party

Turning away from the light,

becoming adult,

turning into myself.

(Baby, look at me

I’m a rock star!)

I wanted to bite, not destroy,

to feel her underneath,

turning into the light.

(Baby, look at me

I’m a rock star!)

Yeah, I don’t have a woman

I just want to break hearts

I only need Jacky, ⁷

aspirin, and a few pain killers

I’m a babe magnet, ⁸

promise girls the whole wide world, ⁹

bring them to the door, and

say, “I’ll call you Jana, (“ey”) Annabelle?

I’m always drunk cause everyday is Friday

I’m hangin’

like Tony Hawk always on the pipe ¹⁰

yeah, my doc earns more than you

‘cause I’m dead sick,

but I’m doing very, very well, baby

Refrain: Bloc Party

Turning away from the light,

becoming adult,

turning into myself.

(Baby, look at me

I’m a rock star!)

I wanted to bite, not destroy,

to feel her underneath,

turning into the light.

(Baby, look at me,

I’m a rock star!)
