act of congress - five minutes of fame lyrics
i’m not who you think i am
i’m not what i seem
just like martin luther king
i swear i’ve had a dream
of goin’ down to hollywood
for my national debut
sing my song and dance my dance
so they will put me through
i quit my job and packed my bags
i’m never comin’ home
those city lights get brighter
the further i roam
my leather pants ain’t comfortable
and i think the judges see
that i can make a million bucks
if they’ll just stick with me
[chorus]
they’re gonna put my name in lights
and make me a star
you’ll see my face all over the place
no matter where you are
you can fly me there, drive me there
i’ll even go by train
just get me on the tv screen
for five minutes of fame
i’ve got most all my t–th
and a nice round derriere
the mayor even shook my hand
at the annual county fair
if i don’t make it through
i’ve one trick left to try
i’ll sing a michael jackson song
and make my grandma cry
[chorus]
they’re gonna put my name in lights
and make me a star
you’ll see my face all over the place
no matter where you are
you can fly me there, drive me there
i’ll even go by train
just get me on the tv screen
for five minutes of fame
[instrumental bridge]
people don’t know talent
when it slaps them in the face
they laugh until they cry
then they call me a disgrace
so i punched the man right in the face
i shouldn’t have hit him twice
cause they hawled me off to prision
and they give me this advice
[chorus]
they’re never put your name in lights
and make you a star
don’t try to hit the big time
you’re better off where you are
you can fly there or drive there
but you won’t come back the same
you’ll be the laughing stock of america
cause it’s five minutes of fame
you can fly there or drive there
but you won’t come back the same (same, same)
you’ll be the laughing stock of america
cause it’s five minutes of fame
you’ll be the laughing stock of america
cause it’s five minutes of fame
