Fame

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
