It was a common story, yeah who cares that I changed?   Why are people freaking out?   Maybe I gave in more than I should, maybe I sold out   But the truth was I was really getting nowhere until I woke up and found   That morals can�t take you up to the top your standards pull you down      (Chorus:)   Was it worth it what I gave away   For five minutes of fame   Minutes over no one knows my name   I always said the thing that meant the most to me was my very integrity   Who would have thought I�d ever trade it all for popularity   �Cause the truth is though I�ve made it to the top I�m anything but satisfied   I gave up the only thing that mattered for this empty life      This time I�m saying no   This world will know what I believe in   I�ve lost enough to know    That life�s too short to waste it   Or my minute of fame
