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
I always said the thing that meant the most to me was my very 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

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
Or my minute of fame
