Song12 - Out of Steam

This continues our foray into the uncharted territory of musical theater...

This one is meant to be kind of like a Tom Lehrer sort of piece, but on guitar. So it's just guitar and vocals. If it seems more suited to piano to people, I may decide to try it there.

And yes, I really do hate "reality tv"...

LYRICS

Out of Steam

Hollywoods on empty, it's running out of steam
it's either sequels, remakes or something in between
When the movie for a book says inspired by
don't even think, just turn, run, and hide

It won't be very long and then you'll start to see
cinemantic hits like Waterworld 3
or remade classics like Casablanca 2,
Or the Ten Commandments - Electric Boogaloo

gone with the wind 2 its the Civil War in space
where a robotic red butler tries to save the human race
or citizen kane 2, the return of rosebuds ghost
where rosebuds a monster cloned from orson welles toast

Tv's not much better, as everbody knows
nothing hurts so much as reality shows
cop shows with dialogue so very prosaic
and sitcoms that are very formulaic

so creative types have all moved to the net to be free
where they make some things man was not meant to see
so many flamewars, so much fuss
over all your base are belong to us

Still Art will win out if we remain loyal and true
or at least till we find something else to do
