"Fame" lyrics
"Fame"
Oh fame, they
They've taken everything and just 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've got
So much invested in it
But they say you're to blame, it's your own fault
'Cause you got mixed up in fame
Oh no, don't believe none of that old Andy Warhol guff
It takes a lot more than ten or fifteen minutes
That's just not enough
To qualify you for
Fame
You went beyond the boundaries of your sanity
And every day you defy
All the laws of gravity
You ain't got no shame
'Cause you're just addicted to fame, alright
Oh no, don't you buy none of that old Andy Warhol stuff (Rough)
It takes a lot more than ten or fifteen minutes, man (Yeah)
That's just not enough
To qualify you for
Fame
They're already setting up, setting up your own Watergate, Watergate
Oh, fame
That stalker out there is just filled with hate
You'll never be the same
'Cause everyone's corrupted by fame
Oh, fame
They took away, took away all of 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 no)
Oh, fame, say it again
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, fame, say it again
Fame, say it again (Fame, fame, fame)
They say you're to blame
'Cause you got mixed up in fame
Fame, say it again, fame
