Lyrics[edit]
Hey Mr. Superstar:
"I'll do anything for you"
"I'm you're number one fan"
hey mr. porno star, I, I, I, I want you
hey mr. sickly star,
I want to get sick from you
hey mr. fallen star,
don't you know I worship you?
hey mr. big rock star,
"I wanna grow up just like you"
I know that I can turn you on
I wish I could just turn you off
I never wanted this
hey mr. superhate,
I just want to love you
hey, hey, hey mr. superfuck,
I wanna go down on you
hey mr. supergod,
will you answer my prayers?
hey, hey, hey mr. superman,
I want to be your little girl
I know that I can turn you on
I wish I could just turn you off
I never wanted this
hey mr. superstar,
I'll kill myself for you
hey mr. superstar,
I'll kill you if I can't have you
superstar, superfuck baby...
Trivia[edit]
- "Mr. Superstar" was a working title for the song.
- The song's opening riff is also used in the introduction of "Dried Up, Tied and Dead to the World."
- The lyrics "I wish you'd kill yourself on T.V" could be a reference to the televised suicide of R. Budd Dwyer, Pennsylvania treasurer, in 1987.
