It takes a great person to get an idea But don't go public it'll ruin the plan Because no matter how intelligent or clever you are You're only as good as your fans. Peter Garrett chanting "Oils, Oils!" Can you imagine it? I don't think you can As a Mistral employee once told me You're only as good as your fans. [Chorus:] Each man k**s the thing he loves The fisherman caught in his own net It's frightening that you deserve The audience that you get. The Beatles found out with Helter Skelter And John Lennon saw it in Mr Chapman And the Stones learnt from Gimme Shelter You're only as good as your fans. (Chorus) Yo! Fight the power, what did I say? All the boys say "YO"! All the girls say "YO"! Everybody say "YO"! Here comes the Hamburgular Elle McPherson is really a person But don't tell the guy who buys the calender Jump! Monica! Jump! Monica! Jump! Monica! Jump! Monica! You can't get a laugh out of Steffi Graf When you tell her that her friends are a bunch of backstabbers Kurt Cobain couldn't deal with fame But at least he didn't score an own goal against Columbia. Yo! Impersonator X, give it to me! Maybe we shouldn't hate Collingwood Or blame religion on J.C. Or marvel at all the racist kids Who love Public Enemy. (Chorus)
