Fame And Fortune Lyrics

Fame and fortune
Facts of life
Most of what makes it a useless try
So check the hand of the battle plan
To hit the target

Fame and fortune fancy that
Nothing but rabbits from a man in a hat
So try and catch the falling star
Crushing into dust and stuck down
A throwing boring way

Now the void is back to front
See through people
See through less
Knowing far

The beginning, happy ending
The beginning, happy ending
The beginning, happy ending
The beginning, happy ending

Face to face against the wall
Climb that fence into the front oh no
Pretty faces on the wall before

Picture (?) disappear in the sky
Slack the ashes and make it to the (?)
Oh no no no

Fame and fortune is a stupid game and
Fame and fortune is the game i play
Fame and fortune is a stupid game and
Fame and fortune is the game i play
Fame and fortune is a stupid game and
Fame and fortune is the game i play
Fame and fortune is a stupid game and
Fame and fortune is the game i play
I'll play forever

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
