They said we need to "kick it harder"
They said "re-write the lyrics smarter"
We can't quite smell platinum yet
Cause everybody wants to be, a big celebrity
Everybody wants to win the lottery
From the bottom of our hearts, to the top of the charts

They said, you need to "play it better"
They said "just sing like Eddie Vedder"
And bring us something we can sell

Cause everybody wants to be, a big celebrity
Everybody wants to win the lottery
Cause everybody wants to be, like the people on TV
Everybody wants to see the show for free
From the bottom of our hearts, to the top of the charts

Somebody said it right, when they said this life ain't easy
Maybe tonight's the night, when it all comes down and we get it right

Cause everybody wants to be, a big celebrity
Everybody wants to win the lottery
Cause everybody wants to be, like the people on TV
Everybody wants to see the show for free
From the bottom of our hearts, to the top of the charts
