Paul Westerberg - Folk Star lyrics

You don't sing for children or their parents In the nighttime 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 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 You're a folk star, yeah you are Folk star, yeah you are Come on You want it A hundred mandolins won't hide the man within Folk star with your plastic red guitar Folk star with your plastic red guitar Folk star with your plastic red guitar Folk star, yeah I'm all right I'm a folk star now Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving But how can they know it's time for them to go?
