I wonder how to make them play this song on radio
And how to make them want my face in their silly TV shows
Let’s just go through all the things that could possibly be wrong
It can’t be the way I look ’cause all the girls think I look great
It can’t be lack of effort because I am never late
It can’t be lousy lyrics; poetry’s rolling from my tongue
Control over the instruments can also not be it
My repertoire just covers all, from old to modern shit
It can’t be something from my past; I’ve covered all my tracks
The problem lies not here, no, I’ll say this straight and true
You don’t know what you want and you don’t care at all do you?
But I am gonna make it using style and cash and sex
I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be famous
I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be famous
I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be famous
I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be famous
Someday
I know now why they’ll never play this song on radio
And why they just don’t want my silly face in their stupid shows
But it’s not me it’s not me it’s not me; it must be you
You don’t recognize talent when it slaps you in the face
You only fancy blossoming girls barely dressed up in lace
No nothing’s wrong with that but why should you not like me too?
I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be famous
I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be famous
I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be famous
I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be famous
Someday
I’m gonna be great
