Fame - Ray Wilson, Stiltskin

Hello, my name is Maria, I’m 22 years old

My hobbies are dancing and singing

My ambition is to help people who are less fortunate than myself

And to make a shit lot of cash

Nothing ever comes easy in this life

You never know what they are really thinking

Try hard to pretend its ok

You get down and just end up drinking

And so you look to the Gods for help

And try to make sense from it all

Just breathe easy and believe me

Nothing worthwhile ever comes easy

You’re in the machine now

Fame, fame the people know your name

It isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be

I’ll say it again

Fame, fame welcome to the machine

You got exactly what they wanted for you

You see all that talentless fuckers on TV

And a judge with suit from Armani

Sits back with his words of wisdom

As the TV ratings go through the ceiling

And all the people at home with there shallow lives

Looking to be part of something

Just entertain me nice and easy

Take my extremely dull life and free me

I’m living the dream

Fame, fame the people know your name

It isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be

I’ll say it again

Fame, fame welcome to the machine

You got exactly what they wanted for you

I know there’s no point in saying this

It’s maybe even a little bit dangerous

Be aware that the shareholders own you

They can bounce you around if they want to

It’s good that they fight for survival

At least until there’s a Beatles revival

Looks like those days have gone

If the numbers don’t add up

It must be wrong

RIGHT?

QUITE RIGHT!

Oh my God thank you for making my dream a reality

Thank you so much, thank you, I’m so happy

Fame, fame the people know your name

It isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be

I’ll say it again

Fame, fame welcome to the machine

You got exactly what they wanted for you

Fame, fame

Fame, fame

Fame, fame welcome to the machine

You got exactly what they wanted for you

I’m so happy, thank you, you guys are great
