lyrics

Do I have to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I gonna be a star?

"If real fame is a mask that eats into the face,
Then pseudo-fame, the current kind, might be a decoy that may eat into the brain.

You often meet those people in California, They begin to lie to journalists and themselves with the same grim hope: if I say this and no one contradicts me it might be true.

A sense of entitlement stands in for personal values. They don't mind if they're fooling you and fooling themselves, so long as they can keep the show on the road.

Makes a man take things over
Lets him loose, hard to swallow
It's not your brain, it's just the flame
that burns your change to keep you insane

What you like is in the limo
what you get is no tomorrow
What you need you have to borrow
Puts you where things are hollow

Do I have to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I gonna be a star?
