5 Minutes Of Fame lyrics

It was a common story, yeah who cares that I changed?
Why are people freaking out?
Maybe I gave in more than I should, maybe I sold out
But the truth was I was really getting nowhere until I woke up and found
That morals can t take you up to the top your standards pull you down

[Chorus:]
Was it worth it what I gave away
For five minutes of fame
Minutes over no one knows my name
Or my minute of fame

I always said the thing that meant the most to me was mothering integrity
Who would have thought I d ever trade it all for popularity
Cause the truth is though I ve made it to the top I m anything but satisfied
I gave up the only thing that mattered for this empty life

[Chorus:]

This time I m saying no
This world will know what I believe in
I ve lost enough to know
That life s too short to waste it

[Chorus:].
