The Plot To Kill Bob Barker
Behind the Glittering Curtain: Unmasking the Illusion of Fame
Lyrics
The pandemonium is finally setting in
The chaos and disorder are finally becoming apparent.
You arent a winner till someone says you are
Your status as a winner is dependent on external validation.
Smile like you have a chance to be beautiful and rich
Put on a facade of happiness and attractiveness in hopes of success.
Ladies and gentlemen, come on down
An invitation to participate in a spectacle or competition.
When no one knows your name
Your identity is insignificant or unrecognized by others.
Dolled up star shining for this show
A glamorous celebrity preparing for a performance.
Make up, dressing rooms, seating plans, a construed web of vain
The superficial aspects of fame, including makeup and appearances.
This is, where ill, be blessed, god strikes with his microphone
Proclaiming a divine blessing while wielding a microphone.
Complaining? Already? is the boat not big enough
Mocking someone for complaining when there's already plenty.
Just between, you and I, I dont think the cameras even on
Doubting the authenticity of the broadcast, suggesting the cameras may not be on.
You think he sleeps the best at night
Suggesting the central figure (possibly Bob Barker) sleeps well despite moral concerns.
Rolling in his money
Accumulating wealth is the priority, regardless of moral implications.
It doesnt matter put on your suit
Conveying that appearances are more critical than authenticity.
We got a lovely audience tonight
Praising the audience despite flaws in the characters being presented.
Ouuu our character is flawed, by our desire to be best
Acknowledging the imperfections in the character due to the desire for success.
So if your seen walking down, I hope youre as immortal as your makeup team
Suggesting that the reputation should be as enduring as the makeup.
And oh what a shame it is, to shine like the cheap wax on your shoes
Expressing disdain for a superficial shine, comparing it to cheap wax.
Remember your seat number, and who sat next to you
Encouraging the remembrance of one's place and associations in the fame hierarchy.
These moments get frozen in time they say
Highlighting the significance of capturing fleeting moments in the entertainment industry.
And if you stop on your way backstage to look back with the deer in the headlight eyes
Advising against dwelling on past successes with a metaphor of deer in headlights.
Do not focus, but do not stare, when you turn your back on fame
Cautioning against fixating on fame when moving away from it.
The ratings will drop
Predicting negative consequences if the entertainment quality drops.
The crowd will disown
Anticipating rejection and abandonment from the audience.
Put down the microphone
Symbolizing the end of communication and influence by putting down the microphone.
Now you are left alone
Emphasizing the loneliness that follows the loss of fame and popularity.
