See you´ve got the new biography
Where did they get the info from?
Same as before, some so-called friends
Who claim to have known me then

How come they´ve got such good memories
When I can´t even remember last week?
Got to question where they´re coming from
What knowledge of me is it that they speak?

So far away, way back when
The people that claim to have known me then

They´re not on my wavelength and it´s such a shame
That they have to play the name game
The fame game, oh the name game
Lord it´s a cryin´ shame
Lord tell me what´s to blame

Reinvented all the stories they know
Give them all a different slant
What is it that they´re really looking for?
Just a hobby on the internet

So far away, way back when
The people that claim to have known me then

Not on my wavelength and it´s such a shame
That they have to play the name game
The fame game, oh the name game
Oh such a cryin´ shame, please tell me who´s to blame
(Alright, saxophone)

If they didn´t really know me way back
How can they know me now in any respect?
It´s a pity they don´t feel the pain
That they should pay the price to pay, to play
The fame game, oh the name game
It´s such a cryin´ shame, please tell me who´s to blame

Not on my wavelength and it´s such a shame
That they have to pay, have to play
The fame game, oh the name game
It´s a cryin´ shame, please tell me who´s to blame
They keep on playin´
The fame game, oh the name game
It´s a cryin´ shame, please tell me who´s to blame

Keep on playin´ the fame game, Lord, the name game
It´s such a cryin´ shame, please tell me who´s to blame
They just keep on playin´ the fame game, oh the name game
Its such a cryin´ shame, please tell me who´s to blame
Keep on, keep on playin´
