One Hit Wonderful

Fourteen minutes and fifty-nine seconds into our fifteen minutes of fame When the luck runs out, I won't wonder who's to blame Because nobody said they had a guaranteed way to win the hearts of the public who are easily swayed And just this time last year, I thought we had it made We were One Hit Wonderful Livin' the life, playin' the role We were One Hit Wonderful Well, it can't last long They don't love you They just love that one song Well, things don't last long in life; that's how it goes They'll smile and applaud, then turn up their nose Things will shrink as quickly as they've grown But it's perfectly normal for us to ask why The company wasn't untrue, they just didn't try And a new career is born. It will eventually die We were One Hit Wonderful Livin' the life, playin' the role We were One Hit Wonderful Well, it can't last long They don't love you They just love that one song That one song... That one song So many lovely melodies So many messages to convey But they don't care about any of these "Play that one damn song!" is what they say We were One Hit Wonderful Livin' the life, playin' the role We were One Hit Wonderful Well, it can't last long They don't love you Oh, no! We were One Hit Wonderful Livin' the life, playin' the role We were One Hit Wonderful Well, it can't last long They don't love you They just love that one song
