Queen of the Hollywood Screen
Pick a ‘Cause’ and then lecture the press
On why this ole world’s such a mess
With a high school drop-out degree
‘So what? I’m a STAR! I’m just… ME”
Oh the charities your slick agent books
How bout giving when nobody looks?
Slip five thousand in cash for a start
In that can at your local Wal-Mart
THAT'S right, you don’t shop there! My-my
(“Oh, they abuse their workers that’s why”)
Feed that starving, unfortunate child!
Who grovels in the African wild
“Um, that’s why I’m so pale and so thin
I SOOOH much identify with him”
"SO sorry, gotta go, here’s a wink
Got a date to go scream at my shrink”…
