Famous from Focus Group by Gabriel Lynch

We were seventeen
And it was clear as day to see
We had what you need
To break out of the scene

We were seventeen
With wild hearts and wild dreams
It was destiny
We were gonna break the scene

Billboards, movies, radio
A name that everybody knows
Appears in all your favourite shows
The centre of attention
The biggest brand ambassadors
Top models and influencers
The queens of social media
Did we forget to mention...

We're gonna be famous
We're gonna be superstars
We're gonna be bigger than The Beatles
Yeah, look out, here we come
When we get famous
Just a matter of time
We're gonna be famous, baby
Or we're gonna die trying

We were seventeen
And it was clear as day to see
We had what you need
To break out of the scene

I was seventeen
And not yet jaded by the sea
Of people just like me
Who just couldn't break the scene

A two-star motel, gambling man
A dead-end, dive bar cover band
Appeared in porno in Japan
Just desperate for attention
A face that no one recognises
Talentless and full of vices
Not once did we think twice
'Cos we forgot to mention...

We're gonna be famous
We're gonna be superstars
We're gonna be bigger than Marilyn Monroe, honey
Look out, here we come
When we get famous
Just a matter of time
We're gonna be famous, baby
Or we're gonna die trying

We're gonna be bigger than the whole Kardashian family
Look out, here we come
When we get famous
Just a matter of time
We're gonna be famous, baby
Or we're gonna die trying
