It was a common story, yeah who cares that I changed?
Why are people freaking out? (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
Was it worth it what I gave away
For five minutes of fame
Minutes over no one knows my name
Or my minute of fame
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
Was it worth it what I gave away
For five minutes of fame
Minutes over no one knows my name
Or my minute of fame
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
Was it worth it what I gave away
For five minutes of fame
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Minutes over no one knows my name
Or my minute of fame
Or my five minutes of fame
Nobodies watching me,
And I dunno, what do I do?
I'm lost, Otto
