They sit distorting your reflection,
But the lights around the mirror have all gone dim.
Because you did whatever you could to make a connection,
And you did whatever you could to make it in…
[Chorus:]
For fifteen minutes of fame
What would you do?
Who would you hurt?
And who would you screw?
Would you kill for the sake of making a name?
For fifteen minutes of shame…
You wear a mask but don't know who's behind it,
You fear the face of who you really are.
Because you did whatever you could to be invited,
And you do whatever it takes to be a star…
[Chorus:]
For fifteen minutes of fame
What would you do?
Who would you hurt?
And who would you screw?
Would you kill for the sake of making a name?
For fifteen minutes of shame…
I know you think
That you were something special.
But you're not!
And you are the only one to blame…
[Chorus:]
For fifteen minutes of fame
What would you do?
Who would you hurt?
And who would you screw?
Would you kill for the sake of making a name?
For fifteen minutes of shame…
