Текст песни: Five Minutes of Fame + перевод

I’m not who you think I am

I’m not what I seem

Just like Martin Luther King

I swear I’ve had a dream

Of goin' down to Hollywood

For my national debut

Sing my song and dance my dance

So they will put me through

I quit my job and packed my bags

I’m never comin' home

Those city lights get brighter

The further I roam

My leather pants ain’t comfortable

And I think the judges see

That I can make a million bucks

If they’ll just stick with me

They’re gonna put my name in lights

And make me a star

You’ll see my face all over the place

No matter where you are

You can fly me there, drive me there

I’ll even go by train

Just get me on the TV screen

For five minutes of fame

I’ve got most all my teeth

And a nice round derriere

The mayor even shook my hand

At the annual county fair

If I don’t make it through

I’ve one trick left to try

I’ll sing a Michael Jackson song

And make my grandma cry

They’re gonna put my name in lights

And make me a star

You’ll see my face all over the place

No matter where you are

You can fly me there, drive me there

I’ll even go by train

Just get me on the TV screen

For five minutes of fame

People don’t know talent

When it slaps them in the face

They laugh until they cry

Then they call me a disgrace

So I punched the man right in the face

I shouldn’t have hit him twice

Cause they hawled me off to prision

And they give me this advice

They’re never put your name in lights

And make you a star

Don’t try to hit the big time

You’re better off where you are

You can fly there or drive there

But you won’t come back the same

You’ll be the laughing stock of America

Cause it’s five minutes of fame

You can fly there or drive there

But you won’t come back the same (same, same)

You’ll be the laughing stock of America

Cause it’s five minutes of fame

You’ll be the laughing stock of America

Cause it’s five minutes of fame
