Sold Out
Selling Fame: The Price of Lost Identity
Lyrics
I've gotta say, gotta say my head's spinning around,
I feel disoriented and overwhelmed.
Been trying to cover too much ground,
I've been attempting to handle too many things.
You'll find me at the Lost & Found
I can be found at a place where lost items are kept.
Tal & Shalev: (Now you're out of the game)
Commentary indicating someone is no longer in the game.
Going mad, lost your had for a whiff of fame,
You're going crazy, losing your mind for a taste of fame.
Now everybody knows your name,
Now everyone knows who you are.
But I know you're not quite the same
I recognize that you've changed.
But who could tell?
Uncertainty about perceiving changes in someone.
You sold out fast as hell,
You abandoned your principles or values very quickly.
Dropped all your coins into the well,
You've invested everything you had.
Doesn't it drive you ma-eh-hed?
Doesn’t it make you incredibly upset?
You'd think a change must come,
There should be a change in this situation.
No more Mr. Comfortably Numb,
No longer living in a state of apathy or detachment.
Once a Rocket man & now you're done, and gone,
Previously successful but now finished and departed.
So c'mon!
Encouraging someone to take action.
Everybody: Hey! *4
Audience participation, cheering.
Woke up late, at the gate Miss misery stands,
Waking up late, facing a state of intense unhappiness.
She's knocking down all of your plans,
Obstacles arising, disrupting plans.
""Listen son I've got some demands""
Someone delivering demands or requirements.
You want a ticket to fame?
Do you desire fame?
With your name on a plate,
Your name associated prominently.
They'll be ringing that bell,
Expecting success or recognition.
Too bad you've got nothing to sell,
Regretting the lack of something valuable to offer.
Now listen son it's not too late
Advice given that there's still time to change.
You've had no chance in hell,
No chance of success.
No coins to drop into the well,
No resources to invest in opportunities.
You know it drives us mad,
This situation frustrates us intensely.
You'd think a change must come,
There should be a transformation.
No more Mr. Comfortably Numb,
No longer in a state of emotional detachment.
Once a Rocket man and now you're done & gone,
Previously successful but now finished and departed.
So c'mon!
Encouraging someone to take action.
Everybody: HEY! *8
Audience participation, cheering repeatedly.
