"Celebrity" lyrics - ALANIS MORISSETTE

ALANIS MORISSETTE
"Celebrity"
(Alanis Morissette / Guy Sigsworth)

I have tasted stardom since before I breathed
My well-known hungry daddy modeled it for me
And I have never left this ambitious city
And I've only known a lust for VIP
I have studied long and hard how to proceed
Nothing but my name in bright lights call to me
And I display the perfect amount of ennui
I'll carve my face up if you'll indulge me

[Chorus:]
Give me celebrity
My kingdom to be famous
Tell me who I have to be
Starving to be famous

Never wondered who's pulling strings above me
'Cause I'm aware of wheels, heels and vintage Gucci
I'm on my twentieth round of Vitamin V
And I'll cut my weight in two if you'll have me

[Chorus:]
Give me celebrity
My kingdom to be famous
Tell me who I have to be
Starving to be famous

Let me into this exclusive club
Ignore my not-so-hidden agenda
I am a tattooed sexy dancing monkey
Just aloof enough to get you to want me
Hoping my persona ingratiates me
Give my life for an opportunity

[Chorus:]
Give me celebrity
My kingdom to be famous
Tell me who I have to be
Starving to be famous
