lyrics

I think I got too much access
Hey look at you, you're doin' it now
While I sit here developing an abscess
Please be sure to update me on all that's gone wrong
And please be sure to leave me a note
Detailing all the reasons that you hate this stupid song

Goddamn! I don't even understand
Why I'm envious of fashionistas
Jealous of the working man
'Cuz I could never be
There's nobody as slow as me
Constantly conjuring up award-winning poetry

Broadcasting your information from a defunct TV station
I dunno what else to say
Please accept my congratulations

Nice work publishing that paper
Nice job getting that job too
You've crafted such a gorgeous life
I'm lost in it
I'm lost in you!

Your legion's unreasonable
They won't listen to reason!
This whole thing's at a boiling point
And now this is the season that we fight!

Because those photos are all right
But you've never seen a better fuckin' picnic in your life

And don't you hate it when people are famous
Well don't you hate it when people are famous

Well I think I figured out
What the problem is you see
It's like I don't believe in anyone
Unless that person isn't me
A nice meal. A fine situation
Blows up in my head into a major altercation

I admire your rampant perfection
Who watches the watchdogs for natural selection
Who chooses the words that we scorn to subjection
The one who screams loudest deserves genuflection

'Cuz this is a motherfucking call to arms
We got mobs and throngs
Pokes and bombs
Fanboy farms
Fallin' prey to my anti-charms

And all of us like all of us
We can't like anymore
We got an army of no one willing to follow us to war

But don't you hate it when people are famous
Well don't you hate it when people are famous

But don't you hate it when people are famous
Why don't you hate it when people are famous
I know you hate it when people are famous
Oh don't you hate it when people are famous
