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 |
