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 [bad word] out of the hat 
 So try to catch a falling star, 
 [bad word] 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
