Oh fame, they¡¯ve taken everything
|
and twisted it
|
Oh fame they say
|
You never could have resisted it
|
What¡¯s in a name
|
And everybody¡¯s jaded by fame
|
|
Oh fame again
|
The press has gone
|
and made another mess of it
|
Oh just because they got
|
So much invested in it
|
But they say you¡¯re to blame
|
it¡¯s your own fault
|
¡®Cos you got mixed up in fame
|
|
Oh no don¡¯t believe all
|
that old Andy Warhol guff
|
It takes a lot more than 10 or 15 minutes
|
That¡¯s just not enough
|
To qualify you for
|
|
Fame, you went beyond
|
the boundries of sanity
|
And every day you defy
|
All the laws of gravity
|
You ain¡¯t got no shame
|
¡®Cos you¡¯re just addicted to fame
|
|
Oh no don¡¯t you buy none of
|
that old Andy Warhol stuff
|
It takes a lot more than 10 or 15 minutes
|
That¡¯s just not enough
|
To qualify you for
|
|
Fame, they¡¯re already setting
|
up your own Watergate
|
Oh fame, that stalker out there is
|
just filled with hate
|
You¡¯ll never be the same
|
¡®Cos everyone¡¯s corrupted by fame
|
|
Oh fame, they took away all my humanity
|
Oh fame got to fight
|
Every second of the day for my dignity
|
It¡¯s a spectator¡¯s game
|
And there ain¡¯t nothing fair about fame
|
|
Oh fame, oh fame
|
Oh fame say it again, fame
|
They say you¡¯re to blame
|
¡®Cos you got mixed up in fame
|
