WHY CELEBRITY from BILLIONS by This Twisted Wreckage

WHY CELEBRITY?
Why celebrity?
Why celebrity?

Why celebrity, why the desire to be something
Bigger and more than the way you naturally be
Why celebrity, is it a lust for inequity
The thirst to be first
So no one's better than me

But ask yourself, why celebrity?

Why celebrity, a world of hate and instability
A passport for myself to the other side of mental health
An excuse to be adored for being crazy
A way to get rich quick and be completely lazy
A way to get rich quick and be completely lazy

Why celebrity?
Why celebrity?

Wake up every day a world where everybody's got it in for me
The ride to the top, the cream of the crop
That burning desire that cannot be stopped
With celebrity, is there really nothing else inside of me?

Why celebrity?

Why celebrity, why fame's sick game?
When the world is filled with so many other things you could name
Peace of mind, just be kind
Helping others find
Their way when they are blinded
By anonymity

Seems to me why is celebrity
Something that you want to be
Seems to me why is celebrity
Something that you want to be

Why celebrity?
When you could just kind
And have peace of mind.
