lyrics

You’re a model
Took a photo standing there, posing just like that
The camera is gone though
That’s okay, you’ve got that dress, you wear it just like that

You’re a photographer
It’s legit, you’ve even got your own web page
And you’re gonna be so popular
You’ve got great ideas and sometimes you even get paid

Look, you are exactly who you wanna be
You make it easy, make it easy to see
Put yourself into a different picture frame
It’s all the same, all the same
Your fate is fame

You’re an actress
You were in that one film that guy, he made that one time
At least you’re attractive
Standing pretty, saying ‘come on, tell me what’s my line’

You’re an artist
You don’t just make art, it’s a title and it fits you right
You always work your hardest
But no one notices your talent and it’s just not right

Look, you are exactly who you wanna be
You make it easy, make it easy to see
Put yourself into a different picture frame
It’s all the same, all the same
Your fate is fame
Fame

Success story in the making
You’ve got your passwords, you can always modify
The world is yours for changing
It’s subjective, but you’ve got good taste if it’s anything like mine

Look, you are exactly who you wanna be
You make it easy, make it easy to see
Put yourself into a different picture frame
It’s all the same, all the same
Your fate is fame
Fame
Look, you are exactly who you wanna be
Put yourself into a different picture frame
It’s all the same, all the same
Your fate is fame
Fame
