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
