I don't usually do this

But I feel compelled to post the lyrics to Citizen Cope's "Fame", which is currently my favorite song. It's just so... good. The album is The Clarence Greenwood Recordings, which you should go buy right now. Oh, and the lyrics belong to him, so don't pilfer them and call them your own, copyright whenever etc etc.

Got the law man
The con man
The liquor store man
Got the man at the premiere to "Spider-Man"
Got the old man calling on the young man
Got the soul man
Trying to keep a hold man
I seen the stars lookin in her eyes
So many times i tried
Seen a man who caught the rainbow's end
He claimed
That the pot of gold resided within

For a name in the U.S.A.
For a little bit of fame today
For a name in the world today
You want to fly high
You want to fly high
You want to fly
You want to fly
For a name in the world today
For a little bit of fame today
For a name in the U.S.A.
You want to fly high
You want to fly high
You want to fly
You want to fly
You want to fly high
You want to fly high
You want to fly high
You want to fly high

Got the this is your land man
This is my land man
Got the blood on the tracks man
Got the guilty man
Got the innocent man
Got the buffalo soldier
The dreadlock Rastaman
Seen the stars looking in her eyes
So many times I've tried
Talked to a man who caught the
rainbow's end he found
That the pot of gold resided within

For a name in the world today
For a little bit of fame today
For a name in the U.S.A.
You want to fly high
You want to fly high
You want to fly
You want to fly
For a name in the U.S.A.
For a little bit of fame today
For a name in the U.S.A. today
You want to fly high
You want to fly high
You want to fly
You want to fly
You want to fly high
