Hey I wanna be in a hardcore band, X's on my hands, gonna take a stand
I can't sing, so I will scream
Hey I wanna be in an indie band, wearing tight tight pants, think that I can dance
I can't play so I'll DJ
So who do you think you fucking are
And do you think you are a rockstar, cause you're not
Who do you think you fucking are
Hey I wanna be in a christian band, bible in my hand, preaching to my fans
We write shit and it's a hit
Hey I wanna be in a hip hop group, rapping to a loop, yelling whoop whoop whoop
Tall tall tees, to my knees
And who do you think you fucking are
And do you think you are a pop star, cause you're not
Who do you think you fucking are
When will you ever wake up
It's time for band to break up
Take all that makeup off your face
Everyone has got a band now
Anyone can write a breakdown
