    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
