The ROOT! Compendium - Lyrics

Famous For Being Famous For Being Famous

Just broke up with my baby, left me inconsolably, got down on one bended knee
She looked at me, said "Don't worry, I Won't say 'It's not you, it's me,' it's your fault, indubitably."

You're not famous for being famous for being famous

I said "No sane girl could agree with your harsh analysis of my eligibility.
"Pragmatically, romantically, I'm catch of the century."
She said, "That means sweet F.A. to me."

You're not famous for being famous for being famous for being famous for being famous

She said, "Who do you think you are?
"If you'd stopped wining, you could have been the Biggest Loser^[1]
"If you gave up, you could have been a Survivor^[2]
"If you'd stop reading Orwell, you could have been on Big Brother^[3]
"The lamest brain on the latest mating game
"A famous name who's claim to fame is dropping names
"A radio star who's neither funny nor smart
"'Cos it doesn't matter what you do - it's who you aren't."

Famous
You're not famous for bing famous for being famous
Famous, famous
