Everybody
Markus Guenther Feat. Rich Lyrics

Well, everybody sees me bein' a blinin' country rock star
Everyone sees me as a flashy country rock star, driving downtown and playing loud music in my car. They didn't know me in the past when I was struggling with a cheap guitar and worn-out boots, going through hardships to pay my dues.

Everybody wants to be me
Everyone wants to achieve the level of success I have reached.

But the don't want to bruise and they don't want to bleed
However, they don't want to suffer the physical and emotional pain that comes with the journey to success.

Want to spend all the money, hug up all the honeys
People want to enjoy the success, splurging money and indulging in the pleasure of women's attention.

And try to get their fortune for free
They are not willing to put in the hard work and efforts required to achieve the success they desire; instead, they want everything to come easy and fast.

Don't want to do what it takes to be what they want to be
They are not ready to make sacrifices or face challenges to attain their goals.

Well, there's a camera in my face nearly everyday
Being a celebrity, I have to deal with constant media attention, and a camera is always pointing towards me.

And I just got to grin
I cope with the pressure of media scrutiny by putting on a smile and acting composed.

They take my country boy views, make it big city news
The media often twists my simple, rural perspective, and turns it into sensationalized news for the city audience.

And I just take it on the chin
I endure the media's portrayal of me and don't let it affect me much.

But the don't want to bruise and they don't want to bleed
People still don't want to face the pain and struggles that come with being a celebrity.

When you're playin' at the top of your game
When you have achieved great success in your field.

Well, the phone's always ringin' and they're droppin' your name
People are always calling you and mentioning your name when you are at the peak of your fame and success.

But the second that you start to fall
However, when you start to lose your fame and success, people abandon you.

Hey, nobody cares and nobody calls
No one shows interest or concern when you start to decline in popularity.

I said everybody wants, everybody wants to be me
People still aspire to achieve the level of success and fame that I have reached.

Yeah, they want to be me, yes they do
They covet my success and the life I lead.
