15 Minutes

[Verse 1]
I wanna love you, but you're already gone
We're both listening to two different songs
You want luxury and I want respect
This love affair is being put to the test
When tragedy meets destiny, when happiness meets hate
When distinguished men of action are like ordinary slaves

[Chorus]
Fifteen minutes of fame
We get fifteen minutes at the end of the game
Fifteen minutes to play
Fifteen minutes, then we get timed out
Life is a brevity without clarity
Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes
Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes
Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes
Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes

[Verse 2]
I believe in optimism, you believe in fear
I wanna get closer, but you're no longer near
Happiness is something that is never revived
Hope is the energy that keeps us alive
When tragedy meets destiny, when happiness meets hate
When distinguished men of action are like ordinary slaves

[Chorus]
Fifteen minutes of fame (fifteen minutes)
We get fifteen minutes at the end of the game
Fifteen minutes to play (fifteen minutes)
Fifteen minutes, then we get timed out

[Bridge]
When yesterday is gone, and tomorrow may never come
But today is all we have, in this moment alone

[Chorus]
Fifteen minutes of fame (fifteen minutes)
You get fifteen minutes at the end of the game
Fifteen minutes to play (fifteen minutes)
Fifteen minutes, then we get timed out
Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes
Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes
Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes (life is brief)
Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes (but eternity is forever)

[Outro]
Ah… fifteen minutes, ah… fifteen minutes
Fifteen minutes of fame
You get fifteen minutes at the end of the game
Fifteen minutes to play
Fifteen minutes, then we get timed out
