Phonga
Verse 1, 2

You say it ain't nothin', nothin', but I shoulda known better
You used to play all night long and were a real trendsetter

n' On the radio is nothin' but tapioca beer
You're becoming a parody of what you used to fear (used to fear)
Chorus

(you try to) Give 'em what they want to hear
(and ya) Sing it loud and you say it clear
(and if) they don't like it, they can f*** off and go away
Verse 3, 4

Once, once long ago at the University
They screamed out your name, and put your face on TV

So you gave up on school and you headed to L.A.
You played out every night and then you partied every day (partied every day)
Chorus
Bridge

I don't blame you for getting mad
(but uh) 15 minutes ain't all that bad
(you know) I always thought you'd make a really cool rock star

I tried, lord yes I know
but they wouldn't let me into the show
(you know it) I'm going to make it anyway...
gonna make it anyway
Verse 5,6

You're much, much older now and you've learned how it's done
You lost your innocence, but at least you had your fun

The Evil Empire wants you to sign on dotted line
You tell them to stick that contract where the sun don't shine (sun don't shine)
