[edit] Lyrics
The lyrics for the song are very strange, as there is no typical song structure. It is basically a long list of names for the entire song, its not until the chorus that the meaning behind having all the names becomes clear.
Andy Warhol got it right / Everybody gets the limelight
Andy Warhol got it wrong / Fifteen minutes is too long.
Referencing Andy Warhol's famous statement that "Everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes", however TISM believe that fifteen minutes is far too long for some people to be famous, including TISM.
