Submitted for Songfight due June 13, 2005

This was my fourth songfight, and the first with my guitar and new recording software. I had a blast recording it, even though I was cluelessly plucking around on the frets trying to make sense of such a strange instrument. I did some strong accompaniment in Reason to try to make up for other inadequacies (Like the god-awful singing). Sounds like the Dead on quaaludes. I tied for second place with two other songs...close fight!

Lyrics

Seen your stories on TV
Ive heard of parties with celebrities
But Ive been working every day
I thought by now I'd have it made

And I wonder now that you've had your share
What's in it for me?

For all your ritz and all your flair
I must confess I just don't care
It's nothing more than vanity
I'd rather keep my sanity

And I wonder if it's all unfair
What's in it for me?

You're a queen of publicity
You bare your breasts on the movie screen
Some say that you've become obscene
So I ask you what's in it for me?

This is the last that I can take
I've got to crash and take a break
My masochism's got me down
It's frustration when you're around

And i wonder if it's all unfair
What's in it for me?
