One Hit Wonderful

Fourteen minutes and fifty-nine seconds into our fifteen minutes of fame
 When the luck runs out, I won't wonder who's to blame
 Because nobody said they had a guaranteed way
 to win the hearts of the public who are easily swayed
 And just this time last year, I thought we had it made
 We were One Hit Wonderful
 Livin' the life, playin' the role
 We were One Hit Wonderful
 Well, it can't last long
 They don't love you
 They just love that one song
 Well, things don't last long in life; that's how it goes
 They'll smile and applaud, then turn up their nose
 Things will shrink as quickly as they've grown
 But it's perfectly normal for us to ask why
 The company wasn't untrue, they just didn't try
 And a new career is born. It will eventually die
 We were One Hit Wonderful
 Livin' the life, playin' the role
 We were One Hit Wonderful
 Well, it can't last long
 They don't love you
 They just love that one song
 That one song...
 That one song
 So many lovely melodies
 So many messages to convey
 But they don't care about any of these
 "Play that one damn song!" is what they say
 We were One Hit Wonderful
 Livin' the life, playin' the role
 We were One Hit Wonderful
 Well, it can't last long
 They don't love you
 Oh, no!
 We were One Hit Wonderful
 Livin' the life, playin' the role
 We were One Hit Wonderful
 Well, it can't last long
 They don't love you
 They just love that one song
