Fame in Four Tunes

by Rebecca Andrews

    In this ‘so-cool’ social climate
    Celebrities are now the primates

    Names and faces do the ruling
    Superstars create the calling

    Pride was found in Gallant Valour
    Now we’re proud of Vainly Glamour

    Once the Nobel was the Idol
    Now we idolize the model

    Reminding us to keep in trim
    That snorting cocaine makes you thin

    Football sets good standards too
    Don’t drink and play, it can kill you

    Teaching kids of Nazi Killing
    Now replaced with Narcissism

    And a general history interest
    Like how big, was Jordan’s chest

    Educating from 5 years
    About the life of Britney Spears

    Never mind about the blitz
    It’s all about implanted tits

    No need for policies and polls
    We’ve got Hip hop, rock and roll

    On issues such as council tax
    We’ll just ask MENEM “what do ya fink of dat”

    To have a followings fantastic
    But fans who copy what you sing are sick

    “Come on baby light my fire”
    When she did the burns were dire

    Pied pipers of reality
    Our children chase the fantasy

    And when they fail and cry in bed
    We just buy them the album instead

    I think of future centuries
    I wonder what the craze will be

    Perhaps one day we’ll change our view
    And judge this deep social imbue

    Not by faces, fame or freaks,
    But facing fame as for the weak


    Or, the plain, the same, us usual folk
    Who 9 – 5 do office work

    We’ll all create our own pop show…
    Who will watch it though?

    But in the mean time while I wait
    I’ll keep watching Ricki Lake

    Maybe the world is going crazy
    So I’m just grateful for my T.V

    Shut away at home much safer
    Waiting to see who wins X-Factor
