Fame And Fortune - Mission Of Burma

Fame and fortune, facts of life

Most of what makes it is useless tripe

So change the angle of the battle plan

To hit the target

Fame and fortune, fancy that

Nothing but rabbits come out of the hat

So try to catch a falling star,

Crush it into dust and stuff it down a jar

And throw it far away

Now the point is back to front

See-through people

See-through monuments

No empire

The beginning, at the ending (one goes up, one goes down)

Smash a face against the wall

Grind a face into the ground — Oh No

Pretty faces on the wall — They Fall

Heat to boiling, disappear in the sky

Slash the ashes, and bake into a pie

Pretty faces on the ground — Oh No, No, No

Fame and fortune is a stupid game and

Fame and fortune is the game I play

I play forever
