Fame

Fame will eat the soul

And you just can't fake it

Fame will eat the soul

And your heart will break

Fame will eat the soul

'Til you just can't take it no more

It doesn't have no meaning

When you're out on the street

Everyone you see

Is just trying to compete

And you're just trying to act

Like a normal Joe, yeah

Drank some darkness, didn't ya?

Drank some darkness, didn't ya?

'Gainst the light within you

'Gainst the light within you

Drank some darkness, didn't ya?

Drank some darkness, didn't ya?

Can't get back on the right track

Fame will eat the soul

Down in Hollywood Town

Things are goin' swell

And you'll start breakin' down

Can't get control

When every clown wants to take you down, yeah, yeah

Alright, alright, alright[Pre-Chorus]

You drank some darkness, didn't ya?

You drank some darkness, didn't ya?

Against the light within you

Against the love within you

You drank some darkness, didn't ya?

You drank some darkness, didn't ya?

Can't get back on the right track

Fame will eat the soul

Down in Hollywood Town

Things are goin' swell

And you'll start breakin' down

You try to get control

But every clown wants to take you down, yeah

Fame will eat the soul

Got to stay in your mansion

Fame will eat the soul

You can't take any chances

Even when you're outside

Have to build a wall around you

Got to stop breakin' down[Chorus]

Fame will eat the soul

'Til you just can't fake it

Fame will eat the soul

And your heart's gonna break

Fame will eat the soul

'Til you just can't take it no more

Take it no more

Stop breakin' down (Stop breakin' down)

Oh, stop, stop breakin' down (Stop breakin' down)

Stop breakin' down, baby

(Stop breakin' down)

Stop breakin' down (Stop breakin' down)

Got to stop breakin' down (Stop breakin' down)

You got to stop breakin' down (I got to stop breakin' down)

In a Hollywood town (Hollywood town)

Child, stop breakin' down in Hollywood (Stop breakin' down)

Stop breakin' down, baby

Stop, stop, stop, stop

Stop, stop, stop, stop

Stop, stop, stop, stop

Stop, stop, stop, stop

Stop, stop, stop, stop

Stop breakin' down (Stop breakin' down)

Stop breakin' down (In a Hollywood town)

Stop, stop, stop, stop

Stop, oh

Stop breakin' down (Stop breakin' down)
