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
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
