    Story Behind the Song
    A sarcastic look at the cooperate world of rock music. Famous is a "where are they now" tale about the rise and fall of a typical pop musician.

    Lyrics
    I've got to learn to look the part
    I've got to learn to have no heart
    Contrive some shitty songs and call them art
    Well why don’t I just mic a fart and call it even

    I'm more machine now than man
    The corporate boys have got a plan
    to make me famous

    They've got a workforce on my side
    Behind the telephones their paid to hide
    They call the DJs and request my tunes
    Executives say I'll make top forty soon

    Well I've dyed my hair and got a phony tan
    cause the corporate boys have got a plan to make me

    Famous
    It's all about the clothes I wear and the style of my hair
    Famous
    Put me in some boots and make me sport a candy ass monkey suit

    La de da de da da da da le de da de da

    Looking back my fame was built on a house of cards
    Blown down by unfaithful winds I watched it crumble
    Into this life I tumbled
    And the sophomore second came
    and the A&R said its lame
    And now I'm painting billboards like the guy in Ratt.

    Shouldn't have worn my guitar to my knees
    Swinging windmills playing processed cheese
    Now my old fans just make fun of me
    Where are they now has tacked me down so you can see

    I'm more a fool now than man
    Cause the corporate boys they had a plan to make me

    Famous
    It's all about the latest trends and stepping on your worthless friends
    Famous
    Without a doubt I should have never sold out.
    La de da de da da da da le de da de da
