Get Famous - The Mountain Goats

You were born for these flashing lights

You were born for these endless nights

You always knew sooner or later

You were destined for something greater

You took notes took on what you had to do

To get the piece of the pie that belonged to you

You’ve been waiting for this ever since you were young

Be careful not to choke on your tongue

Get famous

You should be famous

Go on and get famous

I want you to be famous

Cold grey world, all these obedient sheep

They act like they know but they’re all sound asleep

Waiting for something to wake up to

Some nice juicy bone to chew

You arrive on the scene like a message from God

Listen to the people applaud

This is what you were born to do

Wesley Willis taught me how to write about you

Get famous

You should be famous

You go on and get famous

I want you to be famous

Light up the sky like a comet

Make yourself want to vomit

Shine like a cursed star

Show everybody exactly who you are

Get famous

You should be famous

Go on and get famous

I want you to be famous
