Stuck Mojo - 15 Minutes of Fame lyrics

15 minutes of fame 15 minutes of fame

15 minutes of fame can turn
To 15 minutes of shame
15 minutes of lame if you're not careful man
I agree with Jay Z no maybes or might be's
Fame is the worst drug known to man
Geeked on the spotlight even
If it's not right
Loving the limelight they can't resist
The addiction of fame's
Intoxicating the brain
Leaving the masses as has
Beens mad and pissed

Got no love from Mommy and Dad you never knew
Just 14 when you ran away
And got your first tattoo
Now you think if you could
Just become a famous superstar
That the pain you feel would go away and
You could hide from who you are

I never bought it i don't believe it
You've lost your mind you best retrieve it
Start the clock, tick Tock
Hurry up, tick Tock ride that painted pony
Let the spinnin' wheel burn

What the hell have we become
Desensitized and growing up numb
You'd do anything for them to know your name
Now you've sold your soul for
Your 15 minutes of fame

Those who achieve it just can't believe it
They look to extend that 1-5 high
And without notice they finally notice
Their 15 minutes has said goodbye
Drained and strained from emotional pain
Snatching years off your life
That you'll never reclaim
It wooed you and screwed you
Exploited and used you
Now it doesn't look as good
As it once used to

17 with a baby
Selling drugs to make the rent
And the echoes of what might have been
Are still ringing in your head
Now you think if you could
Just become a famous superstar
That the pain you feel would go away and
You could hide from who you are

I never bought it i don't believe it
You've lost your mind you best retrieve it
Start the clock, tick Tock
Hurry up, tick Tock ride that painted pony
Let the spinnin' wheel burn

What the hell have we become
Desensitized and growing up numb
You'd do anything for them to know your name
Now you've sold your soul for
Your 15 minutes of fame

Drowning and clowning and wondering why
Your limit wasn't close to the sky
Can't release the fame so you're living a lie
Can't except the truth your time
Has passed you by
So you deny and rely on what once was
Back when you had a buzz
No more autographs, no more groupie love
Your 15 minutes gone now you're just a scrub

21 and all alone because the
State they took your baby
So you packed up and moved to Hollywood
On the chance that just maybe
Now you think if you could
Just become a famous superstar
That the pain you feel would go away and
You could hide from who you are

I never bought it i don't believe it
You've lost your mind you best retrieve it
Start the clock, tick Tock
Hurry up, tick Tock ride that painted pony
Let the spinnin' wheel burn

What the hell have we become
Desensitized and growing up numb
You'd do anything for them to know your name
Now you've sold your soul for
Your 15 minutes of fame

15 minutes of fame 15 minutes of fame
