I was alone, my meagre songs dissolved into the great unknown
Despondent, i could not face failure and pushed stupidly on
I broke down and wrote a story glorifying fantasy
That pandered to my target audience like big bang theory
(music you could sell beer to, o canada meets blur's song 2)
Suddenly a singularity exploded from the void:
Friends told their friends who told their friends until it circled the globe
It was a viral hit, the video made major labels take note
Waving millions in a frenzy, they were pounding my door
Oh fame is so easy
Oh everyone should try it
I took the money and lost weight and embarked on my first world tour
Filling stadiums like cereal bowls, fans knew every word
Trading bon mots with jon stewart when he leaned in at the end
Deleting messages from relatives and fairweather friends
Oh fame is so easy
Oh everyone should try it
I can't stand the part of me that still holds on
While the crowd erodes with every pa**ing song
Like being fired from a deadend job
Saving everything inside and still not having enough
I have my handprints down in hollywood, my face on rolling stone
My feet are planted in the clouds or on the island i own
Lined in shiny records, my voice echoes down my mansion's halls
They say it's lonely on top, but i've always been alone
Oh fame is so easy
Oh everyone should try it
