Claim The Fame
Where's there's triumph we claim the fame
When defeats come
we disown blame
Where there's pleasure we join the fun
When sorrows come
we swiftly run
Where there's surplus we share the wealth
When crises come
we display stealth
Where's there's goodwill we sense the peace
When hatreds come
we seek release
Where's there's harvest we pick the fruit
When famines come
we lose pursuit
Where's there's honor we grab the praise
When scandals come
we feel malaise
