Om sangen

Album: Curb | Utgitt: 2007

"Rockstar" er en satirisk og humoristisk sang om drømmen om å bli en rockestjerne, med alle de overdrevne fordelene og klisjeene det innebærer. Sangen har blitt en av Nickelbacks mest kjente og populære låter.

Tekst (utdrag)

I'm through with standing in line
To clubs I'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...

(Refrenget)
Because 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
