A Real Story

I got the idea for this while watching a skit making a gentle commentary on kids in reality shows. How there's quite a bit of falsehood and manipulation in them, and that's what I wanted to point to. Its again, slightly smaller, I have other plans for this work :)..yes, thats a chorus. go figure..

I stood for hours in the endless queue,

Acted cute as my parents told, to titillate you,

Yeah well I could sing, but that's not enough,

I spewed out sadder tales as the going got tough.

Vote for me, help me continue my journey,

I've had a hard life where nothing's come free,

Spent nights dreaming through the windowpane,

Is this story enough to touch your heart again?

I begged and begged, made promises to break,

When I lost out, there were accusations to make,

Falsely thanked the people, said my failure was fine,

It was for those who remained to repeat the same lines.

Vote for me, help me continue my journey,

I've had a hard life where nothing's come free,

Spent nights dreaming through the windowpane,

Is this story enough to touch your heart again?
