You are the king of the world
(And everyone knows your name)
You can't expect that
Everyone will feel the same

And so you're living the lie
(Because it's all that you feel)
The more that you want
The less that you receive

And they will adore you
And they will hear you cry out

I want my fifteen minutes
My fifteen minutes of shame
I want my fifteen minutes
My fifteen minutes of shame

You are a snake in the grass
(Who likes to play on their fears)
Now what's left for
Everyone to take away

You know the harder they fall
(The bigger everything seems)
The more you want
The less that you believe

And they will adore you
And they will hear you cry out

I want my fifteen minutes
My fifteen minutes of shame
I want my fifteen minutes
My fifteen minutes of shame

When they kneel before you
They're waiting for you to fall down
And they will adore you
And they will hear you cry out

I want my fifteen minutes
My fifteen minutes of shame
I want my fifteen minutes
My fifteen minutes of shame
