Story Behind the Song
Very straightforward lyrics for me: what are
we going to do with this gift of life? It was
written and recorded quickly. My buddy Dwayne
was suffering from major back pain the day we
recorded his guitar overdubs, but I really
like what he did with it. He's a monster.
Lyrics
15 Minutes
What you gonna do
With your 15 minutes of fame?
What you gonna do
When you get your ups in the game?
I’m gonna eat a lot of fast food in my car
Conference call with my kids from afar
Devote my life to my job and never complain
With 15 minutes for me, 15 minutes for you
15 minutes
What you wanna do
Now you popped up outta the blue?
What you gonna do
While the sun is shining on you?
I’m gonna habitate a place where I feel like I’m dead
As advertising messages fill my head
Watch a lotta tube till my eyeballs shred
How bout you?
The sun is shining on me, the sun is shining on you
Sunset shining--
Yes I believe there’s a deeper grace
That waits for us ahead
But we could really bring this place
Alive
Before we’re dead
What you gonna see
When you look back over the game?
What you gonna say
When the portrait’s fixed in the frame?
I’ll say I tried not to walk lock-step with the times
Tried to get some truth in my rhymes
Mighta looked like a fool, but I’d do it again the same
While the sun is shining on me, 15 minutes for me
15 minutes
