Why are people freaking out? 为什么人们吓坏了？

Maybe I gave in more than I should, maybe I sold out 也许我给的比我更应该，也许我抢购一空

But the truth was I was really getting nowhere until I woke up and found 但事实是，我真的毫无进展，直到我醒来时，发现

Was it worth it what I gave away 它是值得的，我走了

For five minutes of fame 五分钟成名

Minutes over no one knows my name 分钟以上，没有人知道我的名字

Or my minute of fame 还是我的名气分钟

'Cause the truth is though I've made it to the top I'm anything but satisfied “原因的事实是，虽然我做了它我什么，但满意的顶
