Your 15 minutes are up
We’re here to tell you, you suck
I know some new magazines
Say you’re hip
But your music is shit
And your management doesn’t fool us
Your 15 minutes are through
Despite the play on Youtube
Fuck you
The fact is that you really can’t even sing, though
Or do anything, yo
Forever tied soft drinks and shoes
Your 15 minutes are gone
Don’t worry, we’ll carry on
(The Dwarves are good looking)
25 years, man
Through triumph and tears, yeah
And we came to bury you, son
Wake up every morning with a pain my head
I have to peel myself up off this fucking bed
I really wish I could stay here instead
Days like these are days I wish I could be dead
Ten minutes more are ten minutes less
I barely have the time now to get dressed
Sleep still in my eyes I really feel like a mess
I never really feel like I got enough rest
Fifteen minutes late another sunny day
Spent inside is eight hours that are taken away
Another day, another dollar, another grey
My clothes are getting tighter and I have no money saved
My car is running shitty and it's getting worse
It won't get better 'till I'm riding in a hearse
The more I try the harder things seem to be
And why do all these assholes have to fuck with me?
Working all these hours just to stay where I live
They do all the talking that I'm willing to give
If only I could sleep another ten minutes more
If only my body wasn't so fucking sore
Fifteen minutes late another sunny day
Spent inside is eight hours that are taken away
Another day, another dollar, another grey
My clothes are getting tighter and I have no money saved
Fifteen minutes, that's all you get
One quarter hour, to get it all together
That's nine hundred seconds to make
your bed
Fifteen minutes to show the world
You think you're something, that's what it's like
The one and only, the centre of attention
You're on you're high horse,
then you're on your bike
'Cos you've got fifteen minutes to show
the world
Fifteen minutes to show the world
Blow me kisses forever
Show me this is a love forever
Well, there's been some misunderstanding,
but that don't bother you
You never let it get you down, you can show
them all next time around
Swallow this sound bite, you won't have time
to chew
'Cos you've got fifteen minutes to show
the world
That's fifteen minutes to show the world
Feed me honey I'll live forever
Throw me money I'll live forever
Fifteen minutes, that's all you get
One quarter hour, to get it all together
That's nine hundred seconds to make
your bed
And don't go hesitating
'Cos someone else is waiting for his
Fifteen minutes
Fifteen minutes
Fifteen minutes to show the world
[verse]

[Outro]
I was all just a dream, Oh no
The worst it was real
All my pets they were there and they smiled
Take a seat it looks fine
Everybody so inviting
They got it in for me I know
It's not that I don't really love you
It's just that I don't really know
The hateful things you think you want to say
Time will turn them into jokes
If it was all just a dream, Oh no
Was it real? I don't know
If it was you were on there with me
Overjoyed in a peach
Oh Get, Get a pain, Get a watch
It was like a moonlight in life
I saw worst in a stop liner cuz
It go fast aint got time is been shot
Everybody got to party
Should've waiting for me
Everybody got to party
Should've waited till way
Cause today they talk about us
And tomorrow they won't care
Is a life is it a dream I can't tell
I got up and I wait in a throw
I will call you up every day
Overjoyed in a case
First time around
Second take so long
Third time's the charm
Second falls
Five days to rehearse
Six American work
Seven's in a scale
Eight circum change
Nine intoxicate
Ten is you & friend
Eleven seconds there
Because twelve make you goooaa
"The tragic story of a young boy and his one night stand.
There's a lesson to be learned... don't let this happen to you."
You got it
Got it good
Got your twenty-four symptom
Just a little
Just for fifteen minutes
I want a little
15 minutes of fun, pleasure
Now you're gonna go insane
And a trip, trip
Down to the free clinic
Okay [x7]
That's beautiful [x3]
All right
You got it good
I was all just a dream, Oh no
I wish it was real
All my pets they were there and they smiled
Take a shit - it was fine
Everybody so inviting
They got it in for me I know
It's not that I don't really love you
It's just that I don't really know
The hateful things you think you want to say
Time will turn them into jokes
Yes, it was all just a dream, oh, no
Was it real? I don't know
I hope so
Here we go! Can I play? Can I Watch?
He would like one more night in your life
I saw worlds they don't stop, they're like us.
They go fast like a sun that's been shot.
Everybody at the party
Should't worry if I'm there
Everybody at the party
Should't worry what they wear
Cause today they talk about us
And tomorrow they won't care
This whole life is it a dream? I can't tell
I got up, then I waved, then I fell
I recall, you were there with me
Overjoyed and at peace
First time around
Second took so long
Third time's the charm
Circle of the fourths
Five days to rehearse
Six to make it work
Seven notes in a scale
Eight in some countries
Nine in fancy keys
Ten years we've been friends
Eleven seconds to hell
Through all the things I never said and did
Through memories and passageways I'd long since hid
One ordinary life is somehow changed
I can't explain, yeah
For all the wounds, the longing scars and pain
There's a picture of a broken dream somehow re-framed
One ordinary life somehow exchanged
I'm born again, don't understand
It should've been me left standin' out in the pourin' rain
All of my hopes and dreams burned up in a burst of flame
And it should have been a once in a lifetime
I'm still here wondering why and here you come again
Now, looking back through time and space and dreams
The image of your love and grace I've often seen
And knowing now what I could not know then
This was your plan, hey
And still sometimes I bow my head in shame
Desperate in my longing just to speak your name
And finally I'm resolved to simply trust you
And here you come again, I just don't understand
It should've been me left standin' out in the pourin' rain
All of my hopes and dreams burned up in a burst of flame
And it should have been a once in a lifetime
I'm still here wondering why and here you come again
It could've been me left out there wandering aimlessly
Running here, running there, with no place to be
And I should have been a one-hit wonder, 15 minutes of fame
With nothin' gained and nothin' left to lose
My only chance was you and here you come again, oh
I just don't understand
And I should have been a one-hit wonder, 15 minutes of fame
With nothin' gained and nothin' left to lose
My only chance was you but here you come again, oh, come again
I got a call from my best friend this evening
He said he wasn't going out with us guys on Friday night
Yeah, he was gonna change for his new found flame to keep her satisfied
And I just laughed and said, 'Hey man, well go ahead and try'
'Cause I gave up smoking, women and drinking last night
It was the worst fifteen minutes of my life
Now I've heard it said that too much fun will kill you
And I'll be the first to tell you that I don't wanna die
Too many twelve ounce curls, pretty girls and parties ain't advised
Well, take it from me don't believe all that hype
'Cause I gave up smoking, women and drinking last night
And it was the worst fifteen minutes of my life
That's right
Well, you could get hit by a truck tomorrow
So you might as well raise a little hell tonight
'Cause I gave up smoking, women and drinking last night
And it was the worst fifteen minutes of my life
Man, it was the worst fifteen minutes of my life
That's right
all down the streets the signs read cheaper and better technology
this capitalist vision is my nightmare, put up a sign in my face
what the fuck happened to this place?
i think we made a wrong turn now look at hte lovely concrete
i drove to my stupid job today, got stopped at an intersection
15 minutes of my life just rolled away
i looked at the guy next to me he didn't seem so happy
no ones happy but everyone's too busy to see
let's go shopping today
drive our fancy cars to the fancy malls and for lunch we'll have big macs
i wish i could turn the clock back to when i was ten
when i wasn't scared of everything
and everything wasn't so fucking crowded
and i wonder if my kids will ever see a horizon
untouched by billboards and shopping malls
and i wonder if this crazy world thinks i'm the one who's crazy
what if i'm the one who's crazy?
what if i'm the one who's crazy?
i'm not crazy just frustrated
There you sit distorting your reflection
But the lights around your mirror have all gone dim
Cause you did whatever you could to make a connection
And you did whatever you could to make it in
For fifteen minutes of fame
What would you do
Who would you hurt
And who would you screw
Would you kill for the sake of making your name
For fifteen minutes of shame
You wear a mask but don't know who's behind it
You fear the face of who you really are
Cause you did whatever it took to get invited
And you'll do whatever it takes to be a star
For fifteen minutes of fame
What would you do
Who would you hurt
And who would you screw
Would you kill for the sake of making your name
For fifteen minutes of shame
For fifteen minutes of fame
What would you do
Who would you hurt
And who would you screw
Would you kill for the sake of making your name
For fifteen minutes of shame
I know you think
That you were someone special
But your not
And you're the only one to blame
For fifteen minutes of fame
What would you do
Who would you hurt
And who would you screw
Would you kill for the sake of making your name
For fifteen minutes of shame
Fifteen minutes of fame
What would you do
Who would you hurt
And who would you screw
Would you kill for the sake of making your name

Ain't got no time to talk, just come and break me off
Ain't got no time for love, just come and give me some
Ain't got no time to talk, just come and break me off
7:45 on the dot
Guess, I'm late for work but I'm feeling kinda hot
I see you downstairs pouring juice
Flippin' my eggs, but I wanna flip you because you're
Standing right there in your negligee

I think I wanna hit it again
Call my boss and tell him, I won't be in
I bet he's gonna wanna know why
And I just can't tell him no lies, now
She's laying right here in her negligee
Right now, I don't care, just cut my pay
You'd do the same if you were in my place
If you were in my place with that booty up in ya face
All I got is 15 minutes and I wanna get up in it
Ain't got no time to talk, just come and break me off
Ain't got no time for love, just come and give me some

Ain't got no time to talk, just come and break me off
First two minutes, girl, we're gonna take our time
Break it down, hit ya from behind
Next three minutes, oh, we're gonna get on the floor
Say my name and make me want some more
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, turning on the side
Hurry up, scream it out, let it go, girl
And when you arrive, our time is up
So scream much louder, ohh
All I got is 15 minutes and I wanna get up in it
Ain't got no time to talk, just come and break me off

You're giving up they're taking over.
Grab your keys and bonus check and run.
A new perspective now you're older.
I don't see the point in going on.
Your shortsightedness is killing you.
Maybe that's the best that you can do.
One day I'll watch your whole life story in fifteen minutes flat.
Where are they now? You'll sell your kids and your wife's jewelry.
Fly into the ocean and you're gone. I can say the word longevity,
but that wont be the last you'll hear from me.
"I'm gonna make you a star. I don't care who you are.
Now you'll come to me whenever you're in need.
Move up the ladder of success so fast now that I own your ass,
and I'll whore it for me all over mtv. I get a buck an lp,
you take a penny for three,
and if I hear you complain then I'll destroy your name.
Now that I own you......I'll tell you what to do.
Appreciation for life. But what life lives. Clined down with failure of mankind. Our mistakes are written in blood. Blood of everything that ever took a breath. We have our 15 minutes of relaxation. 15 minutes of joy. I embrace joy
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm staring at the same old crack
In the same old wall
I want my life back
I'm listening to the same old crap
That I've heard before
I want my life back
But I've got a plan to be a better man
(better man)
And not an arsehole man
I won't be very long
Though I may be wrong
I may be very wrong
And I'll be back in 15 minutes
When they've made me a superstar
When I'm back in 15 minutes
No I won't forget who you are
Open doors of recognition
And he knew what I was looking for
But I'll be back in 15
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah..
I'm happy with a fix of fame
when I've had my fill
I get my life back
They tell me it's a dirty game
But I'll play until
I get my life back
I wanna jump the queue
Like the others do
Stand back, I'm coming through
I won't be very long
Though I may be wrong
I may be very wrong
And I'll be back in 15 minutes
When they've made be a superstar
When I'm back in 15 minutes
I won't forget who you are
Open doors of recognition
And he knew what I was looking for
But I'll be back in 15
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Hold on, it may be a rocky ride
Oh, I hope I'll be satisfied
But I will try, give me 15
(solo)
If I never buy a ticket
I'm never gonna win at all
But I'll be back
I'll be back in 15 minutes
When they've made me a superstar
When I'm back in 15 minutes
I won't forget who you are
Open doors of recognition
And he knew what I was looking for
But I'll be back in 15
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Flashback: on the Saturday night.
Would you tell me please, if we got in a fight?
When I think about it, it gets all blurry.
did you make love to me or were you in a hurry?
Flashback. last saturday night.
Flashback. last saturday night.
No clue what happened, was it feeling right?
I looked into the mirror, what was that I said?
I can not recall but there I was alone in bed.
Flashback. last saturday night.
Please please don't fade away.
I think I had something more to say.
Another fifteen minutes with you.
Please please come back our way.
I don't need another play.
Just fif-fifteen minutes with you.
'can't wait, for next Saturday night.
Will we see each other dance the night away-we might.
Let's promise: lock the door when you would have been
done.
You know you're not the only one.
'can't wait, for next Saturday night.
Please please don't fade away.

What the fuck have I become?
Where the fuck do I belong
I don't think I fit in (But I don't care)
I tried but didn't succeed
I died but didn't bleed
Where do I got from here
Question the answers they don't make sense
I can't afford to pay the rent
I'm going nowhere but I don't care
Fifteen minutes of fame
Don't mean much, but life is tough
Been there before now show me that door
Pseudo reality
Without tranquility
I have been there before
Working with no vacation
Loving with obligation
Is that the meaning of life?
I try and try and try to see
What these things all mean to me
I have issues with life and issues with g-d
