They Do It For the Fame

They make my work a joke
They think it’s all a game
I do it for the people
They do it for the fame

I don’t care who they know
They don’t try I can see
At the end of a long day
No one’s left but me

Later down the road
When no one knows my name
Remember that I did it for you people
And they did it for their fame
