Stardom In Action - Pete Townshend

Stardom in Acton, that’s all they got

Stardom in Acton, that’s all they got

Stardom in Acton, that’s all they got

Just like the grub that wriggles to the top of the mass

I’m the first to get hooked

Just like the stub of that long cigarette full of hash

I’m the last to get booked

But I’m capable

My love’s inescapable

Conquering lethargy

I’ve got energy

(Stardom) I want a hit

Want my tan, want my cash, want my innocence

(Stardom) I want a script

Want my band, want my stash, want omnipotence

I’ll go where the senescent soldier retires

And shiver in south California

Watching the storms and the tangling wires

And rivers that meet on the corner

Like some prostitute

Handing 'round the loot

I am not ashamed

I will stake a claim

(Stardom) Born in a trunk

Got my home, got my car, got stability

(Stardom) I’m Hollywood’s son

All alone don’t admire anonymity

I’m so angry that you turned me on

I didn’t remain your friend too long

I’m so angry that you turned me on

I didn’t stay your friend for too long

I’m so angry that you let me see

My totally futile destiny

I’m so angry, you interrupted my dream

Now I know that the power rests in me

(Stardom) I want a hit

Want my tan, want my cash, want my innocence

(Stardom) I want a script

Want my band, want my stash, want omnipotence

(Stardom) Born in a trunk

Got my home, got my car, got stability

(Stardom) But I’m Hollywood’s son

All alone don’t admire anonymity

Stardom in Acton, that’s all they got

Stardom in Acton, that’s all they got

Stardom in Acton, that’s all they got

Stardom in Acton, that’s all they got

Stardom
