Lyrics Folk Star - Paul Westerberg

Folk Star

You don’t sing for children
Or their parents
In the night time, in a bar
You sing for yourself
You stand up for nothing
As far as I can tell
You used to be a folker
'Til you went
And tried to choke her
You’re a folk star
Yeah, yeah, yeah
A folk star
You don’t wear no leather
Don’t care whether
Or not you arrive
On the red carpet
On the charts with
A string of broken hearts
Used to be a folker
'Til you tried to choke her
A folk star
Yeah, you are
Folk star, yeah, you are
Come on, you want it
Hundred mandolins
Won’t hide the man within
Folk star with your plastic red guitar
Folk star, your plastic red guitar
Folk star, plastic red guitar
Folk star, you’re a
Folk star, plastic red guitar
You’re a folk star, plastic red guitar
You’re a, yeah
I’m alright
I’m a folk star, yeah
I’m a folk star, now
I’m a folk star, now
I’m a folk star, now
I’m folk star, now
'Cross the evening sky
All the birds are leaving
But how can they know
It’s time for them to go?
