It was a common story, yeah who cares that I changed?
Why are people freaking out?
Maybe I gave in more than I should, maybe I sold out
But the truth was I was really getting nowhere until I woke up and found
That morals cant take you up to the top your standards pull you down

Chorus:
Was it worth it what I gave away
For five minutes of fame
Minutes over no one knows my name
I always said the thing that meant the most to me was my very integrity
Who would have thought Id ever trade it all for popularity
Cause the truth is though Ive made it to the top Im anything but satisfied
I gave up the only thing that mattered for this empty life

This time Im saying no
This world will know what I believe in
Ive lost enough to know
That lifes too short to waste it
Or my minute of fame
