SHOW BIZ IS DEAD

SHOW BIZ IS DEAD


music
how much music does it take
(in terms of running time)
how much longer until even you
become exploited into a star?
show biz is dead

movies
how many films have you seen
how many do you think i've seen
(about 3)
aren't we, after all
all better actors than even marlon brando?
show biz is obsolete

look at me
i'm singing a song that
don't sound like any other
look at me
i'm telling you to look at me
instead of them

books
how much reading does it take
how many pages are necessary
are you truly inspired
are you reading right, are you writing?
show biz ain't art

stamps and coins
how much of all of this can we take
what are you doing right now
i mean besides listening
i mean for a living?
show biz is not living
show biz is dead

show biz is dead
show biz is dead
show biz is dead
show biz
kill show biz
kill show biz
