Celebrity is the first track off of Barenaked Ladies' 2003 album, Everything to Everyone.
The song is quite simple, it’s about a man who goes through the adventure of fame.
[Verse 1]
Don't call me a zero
I'm gonna be a hero
Like Phil Esposito or the Kennedys
I'll be incorporated
And I'll be imitated
And overrated, but that doesn't bother me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
All the jaws will drop
And all the girls will scream
And there will be commotion when I show up on the scene
[Chorus 1]
All that you will see is a celebrity
All that you will see is a celebrity
[Verse 2]
When I'm riding in my limo
I won't look out the window
Might make me homesick for humanity
There's nowhere that I can't go
And there's nobody I don't know
And there's an emptiness that's eating me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
All the clocks will stop
And all the jeans will cream
It has always been my one and only dream
[Chorus 2]
All that's left of me is my celebrity
All that's left of me is my celebrity
[Bridge]
Leave your heart
Lay down your art
You're here for the party
Smile and wave
Try to behave
Be happy that they've made you a celebrity
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I could disappear
Into the great unknown
And it would wear my face as if it were its own
[Outro-Chorus]
And all that you will see is a celebrity
All that's left of me is my celebrity
I will get in first and I will get in free
All that's left of me is my celebrity
