Fifteen minutes later   You don't seem so famous   The arms that raised you overhead   Take you to your grave instead      With your wedding ring and your trampoline   Tried to touch the sky   But you couldn't get that high   With your silly songs   Everybody sings along   But don't know what the fuck you're sayin'      Five miles into stardom   You begin to see   It's really not that hard   Voices chant praising you   Where are you without your tune      With your broken glass   Another passing fad   Wanted to see how far   You could fool them   With the wrong intentions   But the best of friends   You could've been king   If you'd gotten out of bed      And you try, try to be patient   Why, why did you fake it?      Could be this is nothing   Could be you've got no pot to piss in   Without a voice, without a sound   See you when you're coming down      With swollen glands   Another passing fad   Wanted to see how far   The envelope would open      With your Vasoline   Everybody sings   Goodbye the savior   Goodbye the king      And you try, try to be patient   Why, why did you fake it?      Hope you're happy in the new world   Is the pain gone?   In the new world   Was is better to burn out   Now that you've faded away?      Why would you, why would you, why would you?   Why did you, why would you fade away?   I wish you, I wish you, I wish you would've tried      Try to be patient   Why, why did you fake it?   Try, try to be patience   Try, try
