Someday I'm gonna be famous, do I have talent well no These days you don't really need it thanks to reality shows Can't wait to date a supermodel, can't wait to sue my dad Can't wait to wreck a Ferrari on my way to rehab 'Cause when you're a celebrity It's adios reality You can act just like a fool People think you're cool Just 'cause you're on TV I can throw a major fit When my latte isn't just how I like it When they say I've gone insane I'll blame it on the fame And the pressures that go with Being a celebrity I'll get to cry to Barbara Walters when things don't go my way And I'll get community service no matter which law I break I'll make the supermarket tabloids, they'll write some awful stuff But the more they run my name down the more my price goes up 'Cause when you're a celebrity It adios reality No matter what you do People think you're cool Just 'cause you're on TV I can fall in and out of love Have marriages that barely last a month When they go down the drain I'll blame it on the fame And say it's just so tough Being a celebrity So let's hitch up the wagons and head out west To the land of the fun and the sun We'll be real world bachelor jackass millionaires Hey hey Hollywood here we come 'Cause when you're a celebrity It adios reality No matter what you do People think you're cool Just 'cause you're on TV
