Internationally
Unknown
Words and Music by James Durst

You’ve
never heard of me
Where have you been?
I’ve been ‘round an’ ‘round
This world an’ back again
I’ve got a website all my own
And a cellular phone
And still I’m internationally unknown
I’ve been expecting you
You’re right on time
So glad we got together
While I’m in my prime
You know I’m seldom more at home
Than when I’m at the microphone
Where I’m internationally unknown
REFRAIN
Internationally, internationally
Internationally, internationally (2x)
I’ve kept my profile low
Below the radar screen
I’m addicted to change
And allergic to routine
There’s no tellin’ what I’ll be
When I’m fully grown
But now I’m internationally unknown
Been thinkin’ globally
And acting vocally
My songs it’s been my choice
To render folkally
I’m melody and words
And rhythm to the bone
And still I’m internationally unknown
REFRAIN
Ain’t got no media hype
Ain’t got no ‘buzz’
No need to fear bein’ a has-been
When you never was
Just carve “He sang for those who listened”
On my stone
And “He was Internationally Unknown”
So, you’ve never heard of me
Ain’t no surprise
No need for either of us
To apologize
All this ‘fame & fortune’ business
Has got so overblown
I like me internationally unknown
And you can venture out most anywhere
Without a chaperone
When you’re internationally unknown
‘Cause all the stalkers and the paparazzi
Leave you alone
When you’re internationally unknown
I’ve got recordings of my songs
For your gramophone
And still I’m internationally unknown
REFRAIN
Internationally unknown
