15 Minutes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wanna love you, but you're already gone We're both listening to two different songs You want luxury and I want respect This love affair is being put to the test When tragedy meets destiny, when happiness meets hate When distinguished men of action are like ordinary slaves [Chorus] Fifteen minutes of fame We get fifteen minutes at the end of the game Fifteen minutes to play Fifteen minutes, then we get timed out Life is a brevity without clarity Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes [Verse 2] I believe in optimism, you believe in fear I wanna get closer, but you're no longer near Happiness is something that is never revived Hope is the energy that keeps us alive When tragedy meets destiny, when happiness meets hate When distinguished men of action are like ordinary slaves [Chorus] Fifteen minutes of fame (fifteen minutes) We get fifteen minutes at the end of the game Fifteen minutes to play (fifteen minutes) Fifteen minutes, then we get timed out [Bridge] When yesterday is gone, and tomorrow may never come But today is all we have, in this moment alone [Chorus] Fifteen minutes of fame (fifteen minutes) You get fifteen minutes at the end of the game Fifteen minutes to play (fifteen minutes) Fifteen minutes, then we get timed out Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes (life is brief) Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes (but eternity is forever) [Outro] Ah… fifteen minutes, ah… fifteen minutes Fifteen minutes of fame You get fifteen minutes at the end of the game Fifteen minutes to play Fifteen minutes, then we get timed out
