Lyrics
All you want is just the fame and glory
All desire is for fame and glory.
All you're left with is the same old story
Despite the pursuit, the outcome remains a familiar and unchanging narrative.
All you'll get is just an empty promise
Only an unfulfilled promise awaits.
Do you still want me?
Questioning the continuity of affection or desire.
Do you still want me?
-Do you still want me?
-Here's our Jesus, turn water into wine
Reference to biblical figures, portraying betrayal, wealth, and deceit.
Got his Judas with his smiling eye
-Got him some money, got him some crucify
-Them nails are needles and them needles lie
-Need to read between the lines
Emphasis on the importance of reading beyond the surface.
A fool will fall long by his pride
Warning against the consequences of excessive pride.
All you want is just the fame and glory
Reiteration of the pursuit of fame and glory leading to a repetitive outcome.
All you're left with is the same old story
-All you'll get is just an empty promise
-Do you still want me?
Repetition of questioning the enduring nature of desire.
Do you still want me?
-Here's our Jesus with his big black flies
Imagery involving Jesus, lies, heartache, and emptiness.
Pump his stomach and you'll pump his lies
-Feel your heartache in your angry chair
-You'll feel so empty in your big blank stare
-Need to read between the lines
Encouragement to discern hidden meanings.
A fool will fall long by his pride
Reiteration of the risks associated with excessive pride.
All you want is just the fame and glory
Continued exploration of the consequences of seeking fame and glory.
All you're left with is the same old story
-All you'll get is just an empty promise
-Do you still want me?
Repeating the uncertainty about the persistence of desire.
Do you still want me?
-Do you still want me?
-Do you still want?
Questioning the continuity of desire without providing a direct answer.
All you want is just the fame and glory
Restating the cyclical nature of seeking fame and glory.
All you're left with is the same old story
-All you'll get is just an empty promise
-Do you still want me?
Repeated questioning without a definitive resolution.
Do you still want me?
-Do you still want me?
-Do you still want me?
