It was 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 no where 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    Or my minute of fame       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 top I'm anything but satisfied    I gave up the only thing that mattter for this empty life       Chorus       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       Chorus
