Lyric discussion by catastrophysician 

i kind of get the vibe that this song isn't in seriousness. i kind of get the vibe he's saying that it's sickening how many people think their god's solitary gift to music, while playing stairway to heaven on their guitars devoid of any talent. in addition to which, he's also mocking the rockstar dream. "grow my hair.. i wanna be jim morrisson." he's pretty much making fun of people who try way too hard and still completely fucking suck.

ah, here we go:

this is from dazedkid- "I don't want to be Jim Morrison. I think Thom is being sarcastic, like in 'The Bends'...they asked if he really wished it was the 60's, and he told them he didn't at all, said it was a joke. Jim Morrison was a vapid poet who was made into an idol because of good looks and poetry that was mostly LSD induced...and it wasn't good at all."

yes, thank you. i agree.
