Pete Townshend Stardom In Action
Stardom in action that's all they got. Just like the grub that wriggles to the top of the mass I'm the first to get hooked Just like the stub of that long cigarette full of hash I'm the first to get booked. But I'm incapable My love's inescapable Conquering lethargy I've got energy Stardom - I want a hit Want my tan, want my cash, want my innocence. Stardom - I want a script Want my band, want my stash, want omnipotence. I'll go where the senescent soldier retires And shiver in south California, Watching the storms and the tangling wire And rivers that meet on the corner. Like some prostitute Handing round the loot, I am not ashamed I will stake a claim. Stardom - born in a trunk Got my home, got my car, got stability Stardom - I'm Hollywood's son All alone don't admire anonimity. I'm so angry that you turned me on, I didn't remain your friend for too long I'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 see My 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.
