about

to play fame you need an absence of shame

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take very good care of yourself
Propagate hate to make your wealth
Just to make your presence felt
Anything, anyone - expendable
But I don't have to be clever to do fuck all
I can do that without taking a wage at all
But what are taxes for
That rich avoid to leave to poor

[Pre-Chorus]
But I ain't seen so much sun in a while
So change that face to fake a smile
Any goodness comes to find
It's so much nicer in the light
So think hard, before you try
To do good, be known in time
Cause any goodness comes to find
It's so much nicer in the light

[Chorus]
How many days can you game the front page
Looking for these girls to faint at your fame?
Give yourself a break let the people pay
Until the mess you started here fades away
How many days can you game the front page
Looking for these girls to faint at your fame?
Take another break let the people pay
Until the mess you started here fades away
(x2)
(To play fame you need an absence of shame)

[Verse 2]
No we're not happy until you're scared
So go starve yourself to see some wealth
To walk on up would prove your health
So we've invested your help, in ourselves
Without a voice you can't tell
So sink and rot back in your shell
Your passive death is just and fair
So see our proud faces everywhere

[Pre-Chorus]
But I ain't seen so much sun in a while
So change that face to fake a smile
Any goodness comes to find
It's so much nicer in the light
So think hard, before you try
To do good, be known in time
Cause any goodness comes to find
It's so much nicer in the light

[Chorus]
How many days can you game the front page
Looking for these girls to faint at your fame?
Give yourself a break let the people pay
Until the mess you started here fades away
How many days can you game the front page
Looking for these girls to faint at your fame?
Take another break let the people pay
Until the mess you started here fades away
(x2)

[Outro]
To play fame you need an absence of shame!
To play fame you need an absence of shame!!
To play fame you need an absence of shame!!!
To play fame you NEED AN ABSENCE OF SHAME!!!!
