Guitar Hero

Verse 1

Tried to learn to play a real six-string once
It hurt my fingers so I put it down
Watched all the cool kids playing in their rock bands
Whined online 'cause I couldn't make a sound

But now there's no more playing second-best to those guys
Since they came out with the Xbox game
Doesn't matter if I don't have any talent
I can play a mean guitar all the same

Chorus

I wanna be a Guitar Hero
Wanna hear the fans screaming out for me
I don't really care if it's a video game
I just wanna live my teenage fantasy

Verse 2

Colourful controller and a colourful light show
Couldn't care less if it's CGI
Shredding out the riffs by pushing pretty plastic
Pretty easy after a couple of tries

Doesn't make a difference if I screw it up
'Cause no one's gonna boo me off the stage
Start it all over like it never happened
Here I am, let's turn the page

Verse 3

Gets a little lonely in my parents' basement
Even with a hundred zillion fans
Kinda wish I had a couple friends to play with
But I guess it's not like I could jam

After all, I don't wanna make an album
Got no high artistic aim
I don't really wanna show the truth to people
I just wanna hear them shout my name
