lyrics: as soon as something's popular it's written and erased * still i'm watching, i want more though * i have seen it all before where * bullies hang with pretty boys who pick up girls in coduroys * who's teeny tops are little tanks they go hip hip hopping to the banks * where imitation is just limitation in disguise * sell our souls because the rock just rolled over and died * do you wanna be famous * wanna get a taste * do you wanna be written and erased * do you wanna be faded like the scene in a one hit wonder magazine * do you wanna be jaded, self medicated * gonna be rehabilitated * and then be congratulated * oh yeah you're the one we're looking for * i don't believe the break you had * the monumental ache you had * a game of conscience, tug of war * and we have all been there before * where bullies become pretty boys with loaded guns and shiny toys * they're busting heads and making noise 'till they're bang bang banging hit the floors * where imitation is just limitation in disguise * sell our souls because the rock just rolled over and died * do you wanna be famous * wanna get a taste * do you wanna be written and erased * do you wanna be faded like the scene in a one hit wonder magazine * do you wanna be jaded, self medicated * gonna be rehabilitated * and then be congratulated * oh yeah you're the one we're looking for * get your pencils, papers, big fat red erasers we're all tail-chasers in disguise * do you wanna be famous * wanna get a taste * do you wanna be written and erased * do you wanna be faded like your jeans they're gonna be busting at the seams * do you wanna be jaded, self medicated * gonna be rehabilitated * and then be congratulated * oh yeah you're the one we're looking for * do you wanna be famous * wanna get a taste * do you wanna be written and erased * do you wanna be faded like the scene in a one hit wonder magazine * do you wanna be jaded, self medicated * gonna be rehabilitated * and then be congratulated * oh yeah you're the one we're looking for.
