Nepotism
I'd line up my stuffies
Pretend I have something worth sharing with them
And like a bear sleepin' in his den they couldn't care less
And at the fifth grade talent show I sang
My voice it shook and rang through the room
And my teacher whispered to my mom "not to be rude
But every kid wants to be famous"
And her son always won best of show
But the funny thing was she always was a judge on the panel
"Every kid wants to be famous"
I'd march through the flowers singing for hours
My voice was still small
And I was short but I always stood up tall as tall as I could
And when the sixth grade finally rolled along
I sung another song that I wrote
And I was glad but I didn't have high hopes
I didn't have high hopes
Cause every kid wants to be famous
Every kid wants to shine bright
But the only ribbon that was given away that night
Was to the son who always won best of show
I'm never gonna let go of it I'm never gonna let it go
I'm never gonna let go of this watch me never let it go
This town is small
So don't pretend you haven't seen me now
This town is small so don't pretend you haven't seen me now
Ohhhh every kid wants to be famous
Yet her son always won best of show
Ohhhh nepotism
Yes I said it
Still upset and you'll regret it
Every kid wants to be famous
Never gonna let go of this
I'll sing about it every show
Never gonna let go oh no oh oh
Don't pretend you haven't seen me now
This town is small so don't pretend you haven't seen me now
This world is small so don't pretend you haven't seen me now
Now that I'm not so small id like to see you try and tear me down
Pretend I have something worth sharing with them
And like a bear sleepin' in his den they couldn't care less
And at the fifth grade talent show I sang
My voice it shook and rang through the room
And my teacher whispered to my mom "not to be rude
But every kid wants to be famous"
And her son always won best of show
But the funny thing was she always was a judge on the panel
"Every kid wants to be famous"
I'd march through the flowers singing for hours
My voice was still small
And I was short but I always stood up tall as tall as I could
And when the sixth grade finally rolled along
I sung another song that I wrote
And I was glad but I didn't have high hopes
I didn't have high hopes
Cause every kid wants to be famous
Every kid wants to shine bright
But the only ribbon that was given away that night
Was to the son who always won best of show
I'm never gonna let go of it I'm never gonna let it go
I'm never gonna let go of this watch me never let it go
This town is small
So don't pretend you haven't seen me now
This town is small so don't pretend you haven't seen me now
Ohhhh every kid wants to be famous
Yet her son always won best of show
Ohhhh nepotism
Yes I said it
Still upset and you'll regret it
Every kid wants to be famous
Never gonna let go of this
I'll sing about it every show
Never gonna let go oh no oh oh
Don't pretend you haven't seen me now
This town is small so don't pretend you haven't seen me now
This world is small so don't pretend you haven't seen me now
Now that I'm not so small id like to see you try and tear me down
