Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
Don't call me a zero I'm going to be a hero Like Phil Esposito or the Kennedy's I'll be incorporated and I'll be imitated And overrated but that doesn't bother me All the jaws with drop All the girls will scream And there will commotion when I show up on the scene All that you will see is a celebrity All that you will see is a celebrity When I'm riding in my limo I won't look out the window Might make me homesick for humanity There's nowhere I can't go And there's nobody I don't know And there's an emptiness that's eating me All the clocks will stop And all the jeans will cream It has always been my one and only dream All that's left of me is my celebrity All that's left of me is my celebrity Leave your heart Lay down your art You're here for the party Smile and wave Try to behave Be happy they've Made you a celebrity I could disappear into the great unknown And it would wear my face as if it were its own And all that you will see is a celebrity I will get in first and I will get in free All that's left of me is my celebrity
