Jeffrey Carlson - The Fame Game lyrics

GEORGE Headlines bouncing off satellites Everybody knows me So why am I so lonely? My face in every single magazine Sharing my wisdom With the bloody universe I'm on top of everything I'm the king and the queen The question and the answer Ask and I'll tell you what I think Fame is the impending, glittering disaster ENSEMBLE Fame is what you wanted Everything and more If you don't need the money Tell us what you do this for? ANNOUNCER To celebrate the release of his first album, Boy George's best friend, the one and only, Marilyn! MARILYN I wanna be loved by you Just you nobody else but you I wanna be loved by you alone Boop boop be do This sound system s**s. I've never been so insulted! Oh, love.... this! ENSEMBLE Fame is what she wanted Everything and more FAN #1 Why didn't you answer my letter? PROMOTER #1 You're being cheated George! REPORTER #1 Do you think you're s**y? PROMOTER #2 You're being sued George! FAN #2 You look different in person! REPORTER #2 Do you believe in God, George? REPORTER #3 George, are you taking d**? SOME FREAKS George! OTHER FREAKS George! ENSEMBLE George! GEORGE My records breaking on the radio I'm on the TV Now you want to be me Yesterday I was an embarra**ment But now they can see a bit of you in everyone Is this happening to me? Someone even told me I was bigger than the Beatles I'm rich now everything is free I've got what I want but it's love that I'm after ENSEMBLE Fame is what you wanted Everything and more If you don't need the money Tell us what you do this for REPORTER #1 George, you told the L.A. Times that you like girls. So, you're not a h*mos**ual? GEORGE Well, I have s** at home REPORTER #2 Are you a bi-s**ual? GEORGE I rarely buy anything these days REPORTER #3 Come on George. Tell us the truth. Do you sleep with boys or not? GEORGE Actually, I think s** is vastly overrated. I'd much rather a cup of tea ENSEMBLE Will he corrupt the youth of America? Is it a bird? Is it a boy? Is it a plane? Does your mother know you dress like that? Are you enjoying fame? GEORGE No! ENSEMBLE Fame is what you wanted Everything and more If you don't need the money Tell us what you do this for Tell us what you do this for Tell us what you do this for
