This was inspired by being bombarded by various news stories about people committed horrible crimes and being glorified by the news media

lyrics

FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME
VERSE:
DESPITE ANY PATH YOU CHOOSE
TURNS OUT YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE
THE FUTURE LOOKS BLEAK AND STARK
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO LEAVE YOUR MARK
WILL THE PATH YOU CHOOSE
MAKE THE SIX O'CLOCK NEWS
CHORUS:
WILL THINGS EVER BE THE SAME
AFTER YOUR FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME
WILL ANYONE REMEMBER YOUR NAME
AFTER YOUR FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME
VERSE:
T.V . AND MOVIES TELL YOU HOW IT'S DONE
JUST NEED A VICTIM AND A GUN
EVEN IF ONE'S LIFE IS A BIG ZERO
A SOCIOPATH CAN BECOME A MEDIA HERO
KILL SOMEONE IN A FIT OF RAGE
WITH SOME LUCK, YOU'LL MAKE THE FRONT PAGE
CHORUS;
VERSE:
SERIAL KILLER WANTS TO MAKE A NAME
SHATTER LIVES ARE NEVER THE SAME
NO REMORSE OR GUILT IS CARRIED
JUST WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE BODIES ARE BURIED
AFTER NORMAL LIVES HAVE BEEN SHOOK
GOING TO SELL THE MOVIE RIGHTS AND THE BOOK
CHORUS:
