lyrics
Everybody Wants To Be On TV
Words and music by Kip Prather
Being famous must be a disease
By the way it spreads it must be contagious
When my friends come and lay out on my lawn
It’s then I know that my life is pretty good
It’s then I know that my life is pretty good
Being famous seems kinda lonely
By the way it smells it must be outrageous
When life ends and you’re floating over Mars
And you’re thinking back at all the years you tried so hard
To be famous in everybody’s eyes
It’s then you realize that you wasted so much time
Trying to be famous….
All the famous people in their fancy cars
And the common man in the bleachers trying hard
To catch glimpses of the famous people
Everybody wants to be on TV
Everybody wants to be on TV……..
