lyrics

i gotta look like i'm standin' next to famous people
i gotta look like i know the rap with famous people
i gotta look like i think about the famous people
i gotta look alike and think alike and i-i-i-i-i

i gotta look like i'm friends with all the famous people
i gotta look like i talk with all the famous people
i gotta look like i'm part of all the famous people
i gotta look alike and talk alike and i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i

are you mad at my friends
are you jealous i have them
wish that you could be them
wish that you could have fashion
they're a means to an end
they're just props and distraction
and believe me my friend
they won't see any action

i gotta look like i'm sittin' next to famous people
i gotta act like i'm frontin' with the famous people
i gotta look like i hang out with the famous people
i gotta look alike and act alike and i-i-i-i-i

i gotta look like i'm better off with famous people
i gotta look like i'm better than the normal people
i gotta look even better than the famous people
i gotta look better talk better i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i

are you mad at my friends
are you jealous i have them
they're a means to an end
they're just props and distraction
wish that you could be them
wish that you could have fashion
but believe me my friend
you won't see any action

Love My Life
by Inspector 34

supported by 4 fans who also own “Standing Next to Famous People”

most people would just retire after they make an album as good as IT IS GRAVY, but not INSPECTOR XXXIV! GRAVY had sounded like a direct confrontation with the realities of a quotidian existence, whereas LOVE MY LIFE is dreamier and more otherworldly. actionhasnovirtue
