“Get Famous” is the second single off Getting Into Knives, the Mountain Goats' second album of 2020. The song (satirically) portrays a thirst for fame.
[Verse 1]
You were born for these flashing lights
You were born for these endless nights
You always knew sooner or later
You were destined for something greater
You took notes took on what you had to do
To get the piece of the pie that belonged to you
You've been waiting for this ever since you were young
Be careful not to choke on your tongue
[Chorus]
Get famous
You should be famous
Go on and get famous
I want you to be famous
[Verse 2]
Cold grey world, all these obedient sheep
They act like they know but they're all sound asleep
Waiting for something to wake up to
Some nice juicy bone to chew
You arrive on the scene like a message from God
Listen to the people applaud
This is what you were born to do
Wesley Willis taught me how to write about you
[Chorus]
Get famous
You should be famous
You go on and get famous
I want you to be famous
[Bridge]
Light up the sky like a comet
Make yourself want to vomit
Shine like a cursed star
Show everybody exactly who you are
[Chorus]
Get famous
You should be famous
Go on and get famous
I want you to be famous
Get Famous was written by John Darnielle.
Get Famous was produced by Matt Ross-Spang.
The Mountain Goats released Get Famous on Mon Sep 14 2020.
