Lyrics

Your new record is on the half-price shelf
Your baby treats you like the hired help
She's got somebody sitting in your favorite chair
Man, what the hell is going on around here

Let me fill you in in case nobody told ya
Your 15 minutes are over

Yesterday you were the next big thing (next big thing)
Have your people give my people a ring (give us a ring)
But while they had your people stuck on hold
It was in with the new and out with the old

Then they put your face on a cold case folder
Your 15 minutes are over

You were the headline act (marquee player)
Now your playing in the room out back (yesterday's flavor)
Just one more dope (wasting your time)
On the wrong side of the velvet rope (at the back of the line)

And the only time they mention you
Is to say "what ever happened to...?"

You had a warm reception (come in here dear boy, have a cigar)
Now you got the cold shoulder
Your 15 minutes are over

I hate to tell you friend, but lady luck don't want to know ya
Your 15 minutes are over
Yeah they're over
Your 15 minutes
