Let me tell you a little more about who I used to be
I was a famous singer I was big in Germany
The more that I performed the louder people screamed my name
Ohrwurm after ohrwurm I quickly rose to fame
I used to be I used to be I used to be so cool
I was a famous singer I was making up the rules
Let me tell you a little more about all the things I tried
Being a famous singer was much more fun when I was high
I made more money than I thought that I could ever spend
Kept buying cars and houses and then Tommy joined my band
I used to be I used to be I used to be so cool
I was a famous singer I had my own swimming pool
Let me tell you a little more about where it all went wrong
He was a famous singer but not for very long
He thought nothing could go wrong so he started drinking in the afternoon
Until he lost the sk**s to write an honest and catchy tune
You used to be you used to be you used to be so cool
He was a famous singer now he's just a singing fool
Let me tell you a little more about who I used to be
I was a famous singer until my fans gave up on me
I need sleeping pills to sleep and to wake up bigger bells
My guitars keep getting smaller just like the rooms in my hotels
I used to be I used to be I used to be so cool
We used to be we used to be we used to be so cool
I was a famous singer now I regret dropping out of school
