Fade Away

Preacher man selling in bookstores
Is the money your savior?
Salvation sold at the door
Is your heart made of stone?
Celebrity, what are you famous for?
Do you like being a camera whore?
Respect for the way you're born
Do you feel alone?
Hey you, as you look out for number one
Do you like what you have become?
Hey you, did your dreams just fade away?
When you jumped right into the flame
It's too late
Too late
When did the real you fade away?
Senator, blame it on the poor
When you weren't ever there before
We can't listen anymore
Do you feel alone?
Hey you, as you look out for number one
Do you like what you have become?
Hey you, did your dreams just fade away?
When you jumped right into the flame
It's too late
Too late
When did the real you fade away?
(Fade away)
(Fade away)
(Fade away)
Fade away
Gave yourself up for all the dough
For a cardboard halo
I can't defect to take the place
While the real you fades away
Do you feel alone?
Hey you, as you look out for number one
Do you like what you have become?
Hey you, did your dreams just fade away?
When you jumped right into the flame
It's too late
Too late
When did the real you fade away?
