Celebrity Songtext
von Barenaked Ladies

Don′t call me a zero.
I'm gonna be a hero.
Like Phil Esposito or the Kennedys.

I′ll be incorporated.
And I'll be imitated.
And overrated, but that doesn't bother me.

All the jaws will drop.
And all the girls will scream.
And there will be 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 that 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 that they′ve
Made you a celebrity.

I could disappear.
Into the great unknown.
And it could wear my face, as if it were my own.

And all that you will see is a celebrity.
All that's left of me is my celebrity.

I will get in first.
And I will get in free.

All that′s left of me is my celebrity.
