Advantages to Bein’ A Nobody (Parody of Morgan Wallen’s beautifully bittersweet song entitled ‘Livin’ The Dream’)

Original by: Morgan Wallen

Your lyrics are fitting, Mr. Wallen; you sing and write them beautifully!!!
I can’t imagine some of the incredible difficulties and unique stresses associated with being a celebrity, and as this parody indicates, I am extremely thankful to be on the other side of the looking glass on this one, happily living my life as a simple nobody :D!

My lyrics:

You watch em’ on the covers,
Everywhere, these days, of course
Smiling faces, dressed beautifully
Constant judges, envious, and fake friends
Comin’ out of the woodwork, endlessly
Before you get jealous of their successes,
Remember what it’s costin’ em’,
What they gave up to play on your TV sets.
They’re livin’ their lives publicly,
Sometimes even microscopically
Always gotta’ watch the way they dress.

So I don’t want an Insta
I don’t need a Twitter
I don’t use that Snapchat
Cause I’m just another snapshot
In history, I’m just one line
Won’t be remembered, in my own time
Writin’, cause I have to
Without it, I would unwind
My clock Tiks n’ Toks without an app for it
Singing feelin’ natural, oughta thin air
Dancin there, and spinnin’ new lyrics like I’m on the air
I’m sorry, Honey, but that celebrity, ‘lebrity, ‘lebrity
Fame ain’t all that it’s cracked up to be!
I’d much rather be:
A simple nobody, nobody, nobody,
A nobody, nobody, nobody

Another limousine, more paparazzi
Their private jet rides cost em’ exclusives,
And their makeup hasta’ look heavensent
Photographed by milions, who think they love em’,
Before they’ve even met em’,
Callin’ themselves “best friends”
Without any argument...
So: if you’re ready for the stalkers?
You: should invest in some sunglasses and ballcaps!

I don’t want an Insta
I don’t need a Twitter
I don’t use that Snapchat
Cause I’m just another snapshot
In history, I’m just one line
Won’t be remembered, in my own time
Writin’, cause I have to
Without it, I would unwind
My clock Tiks n’ Toks without an app for it
Singing feelin’ natural, oughta thin air
Dancin’ there, spinnin’ new lyrics like I’m on the air
I’m sorry, Honey , but that ‘lebrity, ‘lebrity, ‘lebrity
Fame ain’t all that it’s cracked up to be!
I’d much rather be:
A simple nobody, nobody, nobody
A nobody, nobody, nobody
A nobody, nobody, nobody

Are: the pictures and media lies worth it?
Where: everyone knows every detail of your life?
I don’t want an Insta
I don’t need a Twitter
I don’t use that Snapchat
Cause I’m just another snapshot
In history, I’m just one line
Won’t be remembered, in my own time
Writin’, cause I have to
Without it, I would unwind
My clock Tiks n’ Toks without an app for it
Singing feelin’ natural, oughta thin air
Dancin’ there, spinnin’ new lyrics like I’m on the air
I’m sorry, Honey, but as Morgan Wallen put it so eloquently:
Fame ain’t all that it’s cracked up to be!
I’d much rather be
A simple nobody, nobody, nobody,
A nobody, nobody, nobody
A nobody, nobody, nobody
So please don’t remember me, ‘member me, ‘member me...
