Send "Famous" Ringtone to Cell

Hollywood Hills
Pocketful of shells
Sunset drag
I haven't even slept for days
Zone in
Something's gotta give
Might as well live it up
Until the fat lady sings

[Chorus:]
You want it
You got it
It's everything you dreamed of
'Cause I just wanna be famous
Be so fucking jaded
'Cause all the Playboy bunnies take my money from me
Show up at the Oscars
Forgot Dennis Hopper
The money is for nothing
And the chicks are for free
Yeah, I wanna be...

You can sleep all day
And still get paid
When the sun goes down
We'll do it all over again
'Cause when you're on a roll
They gotta let you go
Right through the back door
Let the games begin

[Chorus]

I hope that it's everything that you dreamed about
Be careful what you wish for
Hope that it's everything that you dreamed
When everything's falling apart at the seams
And I know that you never believed in me
Don't ever let them fuck with your dreams

[Chorus]

I just wanna be famous
'Cause fame is contagious
Now all the Playboy bunnies want more money from me
Show up at the Grammys
So loaded they ban me
The money is for nothing
And the chicks are for free

Yeah, I wanna be...
Yeah, I wanna be famous

    General Comment:This song reminds me of my past summer of how I basically wanted to be famous but I had long hair, so I cut it and started to record at my boss's studio, and than I was famous for two weeks, I played in his studio for 13 hours and once I heard this song I was smiling cause I finally made something worthwhile, This song influenced me to play better.

    General Comment:this band went through alot of lyric changes with this song. for instance, the first line was originally
    "hollywood hills, pocket full of pills" and instead of "its everything you dreamed" it was
    "you want it, you got it, but you better not change your f$%#ing mind" which is what manager always tell
    their clients

    General Comment:This song sounds to much like ROCKSTAR by nickelback.
    But it's still a good song.

    General Comment:loaded usually means drunk, but it could be high. id go with drunk. probably a mean one, too. (note: high could also mean drunk. just listen to george thorogoods bourbon scotch beer. not to confuse u or anything.) hope this answers ur question, though 4 months late.

    General Comment:Ahhh...after commenting on the deepness of Tool and NIN, it's a relief to sit down with this one. As you've all said, yep, it's about being famous, yadda, yadda. But don't knock it. Has a great positive moral and is nice n' mature in comparisson to their early stuff.

    General Comment:I'm not saying this is a bad song, but it is generally what people have been saying since... ever. That being some kind of popular person is harder and a lot more empty than it seems at first glance, and that no matter how many times popular people and normal people say it, people still want to be famous.
