Fame lyrics
by Lightnin’ Hopkins
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
Oh no, don't believe all that old Andy Warhol guff
It takes a lot more than ten or fifteen minutes
That's just not enough
To qualify you for
[Verse 3]
Fame
You went beyond the boundaries of 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
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Oh no, don't you buy none of that old Andy Warhol stuff
It takes a lot more than ten or fifteen minutes
That's just not enough
To qualify you for
[Verse 4]
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
'Cause everyone's corrupted by fame
[Verse 5]
Oh, fame
You 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 (Do it again)
[Verse 6]
Oh, fame (Fame)
Oh, fame (Fame), say it again
Oh, fame (Fame), say it again
Fame (Fame)
They say you're to blame
'Cause you got mixed up in fame
