Pete Townshend Stardom In Action Lyrics

Stardom in action that's all they got.Just like the grub that wriggles to
the top of the massI'm the first to get hookedJust like the stub of that
long cigarette full of hashI'm the last to get booked.But I'm
capableMy love's inescapableConquering lethargyI've got
energyStardom - I want a hitWant my tan, want my cash, want my
innocence.Stardom - I want a scriptWant my band, want my stash,
want omnipotence.I'll go where the senescent soldier retiresAnd
shiver in south California,Watching the storms and the tangling
wireAnd rivers that meet on the corner.Like some prostituteHanding round the loot,I am not ashamedI will stake a claim.Stardom - born in
a trunkGot my home, got my car, got stabilityStardom - I'm
Hollywood's sonAll alone don't admire anonimity.I'm so angry that
you turned me on,I didn't remain your friend for too longI'm so angry
that you turned me on,I didn't stay your friend for too long.I'm so
angry that you let me seeMy totally futile destiny.I'm so angry - you
interrupted my dream,Now I know that the power rests in
me.Stardom in action that's all they got.
