Fame And Fortune |
Fame and fortune, facts of life |
Most of what makes it is useless tripe |
So change the angle of the battle plan |
To hit the target |
Fame and fortune, fancy that |
Nothing but rabbits come out of the hat |
So try to catch a falling star, |
Crush it into dust and stuff it down a jar |
And throw it far away |
Now the point is back to front |
See-through people |
See-through monuments |
No empire |
The beginning, at the ending (one goes up, one goes down) |
Smash a face against the wall |
Grind a face into the ground — Oh No |
Pretty faces on the wall — They Fall |
Heat to boiling, disappear in the sky |
Slash the ashes, and bake into a pie |
Pretty faces on the ground — Oh No, No, No |
Fame and fortune is a stupid game and |
Fame and fortune is the game I play |
I play forever |
