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
   And I can't even remember last week
   Got to queston 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
   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, the name game,
   Oh it's such a cryin' shame, tell me who's to blame
  
   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 play, to play
   The fame game, 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 play, 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 such a cryin' shame, please tell me who's to blame
   Keep on playin' the fame game
   Lord, the name game, its 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'..
