The Presidents of the United States of America
Naked and Famous (Original Version)
[Verse 1]
I can't explain glacial motion
Or why Los Angeles don't drop into the ocean
I can't unfold the layers of mystery
Or piece together the tragedy of history, 'cause
[Pre-Chorus]
Those lucky fuckers, they don't have to work
Big 3D billboards and big 30-foot smirks
[Chorus]
And everybody wants to be naked and famous
Everybody wanna be just like me, I'm naked
And famous
[Verse 2]
I met a poet, said she didn't like the smell of it
Then took her clothes off in a restaurant for the hell of it
I met a DJ who lived in seclusion
Reality and sobriety were her only delusions, and
[Pre-Chorus]
Those lucky bastards, they didn't have to work
Big 3D billboards and big 30-foot Smurfs
[Chorus]
And everybody wants to be naked and famous
Everybody wanna be just like me, I'm naked
And famous
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude]
Woo!
Ah-hoo-hoo-hoo
Woo!
Ah-hoo-hoo-hoo
[Bridge]
Well, don't get a nosebleed, don't get upset
We can't be naked and famous just yet
There's a big ol' dollar sign on the Sunset Strip
You can send your friend a postcard, it ain't worth the trip
[Chorus]
Everybody wants to be naked and famous
Everybody wanna be just like me, I'm naked
Everybody wants to be naked and famous
Everybody wanna be just like me, I'm naked
Everybody wants to be naked and famous
Everybody wanna be just like me, I'm naked
[Outro]
(Oh, oh yeah)
Ah-hoo-hoo-hoo, woo!
And everybody wants to be naked and famous
Everybody wanna be just like me, I'm naked
And famous
