Celebrity

Album: We Know How This Thing Ends

You've only got your sin to blame
For how it all turned out
You went up on a great big hill
Invited everyone in town

You were putting on a show
You wanted everyone to see
Don't act so surprised
You made him a celebrity

You made it like a carnival
And he was like a sideshow freak.
You had to make a spectacle
To prove your great authority

So everybody watched him die
Now don't you see the irony
It's your own fault
You made him a celebrity

And there ain't no way to stop this now.
You can't shut him up or shut him down.
The secret's truly finally out
There's no room for denial

So you can tell your master down in hell.
and He cannot unring that bell
and all his bragging only helped
To send this whole thing viral

And don't you see, you'll always be
standing in the shadow of a celebrity

You thought it was hilarious
You made him wear a thorny crown
You were laughing all the way
As you paraded him through town.

You beat him up with nine cats tails
Stuck him up with nine inch nails
Oh but that just gave it more publicity
He was fueled on the fire of a celebrity

And there ain't no way to stop this now.
You can't shut him up or shut him down.
The secret's truly, finally out
There's no room for denial

So you can tell your master down in hell.
And he cannot unring that bell
And all his bragging only helped
To send this whole thing viral

And don't you see, you'll always be
Standing in the shadow of a celebrity

If you kill somebody
And go around telling everybody
What you did.
Better pray he doesn't rise again

And there ain't no way to stop this now
You can't shut him up or shut him down
The secret's truly, finally out
There's no room for denial

So you can tell your master down in hell
He never will unring that bell
and all his bragging only helped
to send this whole thing viral

Oh don't you see
You'll always be
Standing in the shadow of a celebrity.
