Story Behind The Song
I grew up in L.A. - the "Beautiful People" - Really beautiful people and there is a lot of emptiness here. Amongst all the art culture is an longing, yearning, relentless drive and competition to do, be, make something of oneself. It's a fricken jungle here and it brings out the best and the worst in people. Fame Costs!

Lyrics
Fame Costs
© by: a girl named jaen
We all need a little attention please
Something bigger then reality
Are you show this is the way to go
Very few yes's so many no's
If it was easy everyone would do it
So accessible everyone would have it
So cheap everyone would buy it
So delicious everyone would try it
But it's not fame costs
Gotta want it so bad it burns
Learn to ignore the worst
What it's not is simple
What it's not is 5x3
And it's never ever gonna be free
Or being seen on tv
Open your eyes to all the things it's not
Everyone wants the fantasy
Spend our lives getting ready for our close up
See you gotta be ready cause you never know
We might see you on a hidden camera show
If it was easy everyone would do it
So accessible everyone would have it
So cheap everyone would buy it
So delicious everyone would try it
But it's not fame costs
Gotta want it so bad it burns
Learn to ignore the worst
What it's not is simple
What it's not is 5x3
And it's never ever gonna be free
Or being seen on tv
Open your eyes to all the things it's not
What is it about fame's light
That shines so bright
So bright it blinds
You think it's the only way to feel alive
The only way to feel alive
But it's not fame costs
Gotta want it so bad it burns
Learn to ignore the worst
It's not fame costs
Gotta want it so bad it burns
Learn to ignore the worst
What it's not is simple
What it's not is 5x3
And it's never ever gonna be free
Or being seen on tv
Open your eyes to
all the things it's not
Better open your eyes
To all the things it's not.
