| Hello, my name is Maria, I'm 22 years old, | |
| My hobbies are dancing and singing, | |
| My ambition is to help people who are less fortunate than myself | |
| And to make a shit lot of cash | |
| Nothing ever comes easy in this life | |
| You never know what they are really thinking | |
| Try hard to pretend its ok | |
| You get down and just end up drinking | |
| And so you look to the Gods for help | |
| And try to make sense from it all | |
| Just breathe easy and believe me | |
| Nothing worthwhile ever comes easy | |
| You're in the machine now | |
| Fame, fame the people know your name | |
| It isn't all that it's cracked up to be | |
| I'll say it again | |
| Fame, fame welcome to the machine | |
| You got exactly what they wanted for you | |
| You see all that talentless fuckers on TV | |
| And a judge with suit from Armani | |
| Sits back with his words of wisdom | |
| As the TV ratings go through the ceiling | |
| And all the people at home with there shallow lives | |
| Looking to be part of something | |
| Just entertain me nice and easy | |
| Take my extremely dull life and free me | |
| I'm living the dream | |
| Fame, fame the people know your name | |
| It isn't all that it's cracked up to be | |
| I'll say it again | |
| Fame, fame welcome to the machine | |
| You got exactly what they wanted for you | |
| I know there's no point in saying this | |
| It's maybe even a little bit dangerous | |
| Be aware that the shareholders own you | |
| They can bounce you around if they want to | |
| It's good that they fight for survival | |
| At least until there's a Beatles revival | |
| Looks like those days have gone | |
| If the numbers don't add up | |
| It must be wrong | |
| RIGHT? QUITE RIGHT! | |
| Oh my God thank you for making my dream a reality, | |
| Thank you so much, thank you, I'm so happy | |
| Fame, fame the people know your name | |
| It isn't all that it's cracked up to be | |
| I'll say it again | |
| Fame, fame welcome to the machine | |
| You got exactly what they wanted for you | |
| Fame, fame | |
| Fame, fame | |
| Fame, fame welcome to the machine | |
| You got exactly what they wanted for you | |
| I'm so happy, thank you, you guys are great |
