Academy Rewards
Something doesn't sound just right
a panel votes you win
What would they gain by cheating?
box office loss a Sin
Yell like you were on a set
A tantrum? That might help
Tell the world they slighted you
but you've really gotta yelp
You watched that movie you were in
you thought you were so great
The voters didn't notice you?
It has to be their hate
How could they do that, just to you?
It really isn't right
You say that you were singled out?
And you think it's cause you're white?
Come on now, just suck it up
go take an acting class
Pretending they were biased too
you're acting like an ass
Just thinking, it will happen soon
they're making changes quick
three to ten, percentage wise
the vote will be so slick
Will they, all dust off their Oscars?
Will they, all just smile with glee?
Will they, all look in the mirror?
Will they, all say "wasn't me"?
