听歌学英语:Rockstar(Post Grunge)

Nickelback是一支加拿大乐队，属于Post Grunge (“后车库”) 流派。乐队的名字来自他们的一个成员 Mike Kroeger在星巴克打工时的经历。 当时，他经常在收完钱后得跟顾客说，here's your nickel back，“这是找给你的五分币”！今天要学习的这首 Rockstar, “摇滚明星”，以一个普通年青人的口吻，描述成为摇滚巨星后所过的穷奢极侈的生活，饱含讽刺意味。

　　I'm through with standing in line

　　To clubs we'll never get in

　　It’s like the bottom of the ninth

　　And I’m never gonna win

　　This life hasn't turned out

　　Quite the way I want it to be

　　I want a brand new house

　　On an episode of cribs

　　And a bathroom I can play baseball in

　　And a king size tub big enough

　　For ten plus me

　　I’ll need a credit card that's got no limit

　　And a big black jet with a bedroom in it

　　Gonna join the mile high club

　　At thirty-seven thousand feet

　　I want a new tour bus full of old guitars

　　my own star on Hollywood boulevard

　　Somewhere between cher and

　　James dean is fine for me

　　I’m gonna trade this life for fortune and fame

　　I’d even cut my hair and change my name

　　'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars

　　And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

　　The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

　　We’ll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

　　And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

　　In the vip with the movie stars

　　Every good gold digger's

　　Gonna wind up there

　　Every playboy bunny

　　With her bleach blond hair

　　Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

　　Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

　　I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels

　　Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes

　　Sign a couple autographs

　　So I can eat my meals for free

　　I’m gonna dress my ass

　　With the latest fashion

　　Get a front door key to the playboy mansion

　　Gonna date a centerfold that loves to

　　Blow my money for me

　　I’m gonna trade this life for fortune and fame

　　I’d even cut my hair and change my name

　　'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars

　　And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

　　The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

　　We’ll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

　　And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

　　In the vip with the movie stars

　　Every good gold digger's

　　Gonna wind up there

　　Every playboy bunny

　　With her bleach blond hair

　　And we'll hide out in the private rooms

　　With the latest dictionary and today's who's who

　　They’ll get you anything

　　With that evil smile

　　Everybody’s got a drug dealer on speed dial

　　Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

　　I'm gonna sing those songs

　　That offend the censors

　　Gonna pop my pills from a pez dispenser

　　Get washed-up singers writing all my songs

　　Lip sync them every night so I don't get 'em wrong
