Lyrics
I heard you want to be on eMpTV
Is the Real World your reality?
The simple mind of a pop star
Is attracted to shiny cars
What the hell am I doing here
Caught between the courts and Britney Spears
How much money can I possibly make
As a backup dancer for Timberlake
In the city on TRL
Locked in a helmet of bad hair gel
Playing concerts for 10 year olds
Cashing in on T-shirts and ringtones
Help me to try and get a feel
For what is right and for what is real
Give'em gossip, give'em fancy clothes
But do not play a single video
