lyrics

(EVERYBODY KNOWS) I'M FAMOUS NOW

Everybody knows
I'm famous now
Everybody knows
They follow me around

I call up my old friends
Just to turn the screws
Did they see me on MTV?
Did they catch me on the news?

I get all the girls
& the boys I want
They idolize my body
& they listen to me talk

It's fun to be famous
But I wonder for how long?
Andy Warhol was right
But now he's gone

If they take it all away
& my face gets old
Will I look like Bette Davis
Stranded in the cold?

Now that I am famous
I am still fucked up
But no one really gives a damn
They are down on my luck

Everybody knows
I'm famous now
Everybody knows
They follow me around
They follow me around
They follow me around
They follow me around...
