Hollywood is no longer the breeding ground for entertainment
Disney and NICK are convicted, restricted, skip the arraignment
And make arrangements to allow them to continue the "Baby Shows"
Just as long as they agree to stay off of my radio!!!!
See every TV child star thinks that they have the pipes to make it
The Brothers this, The Brothers that, you know, The Jonas, and Naked
EVERY kid on EVERY show is out recording a demo
It doesn't matter if they're good, they get picked up in a limo
Meanwhile, I'm STILL broke, and my talent is STILL being wasted
Because I'm not a pubescent, with corny jokes and catch phrases
Using America's youth, the snot nosed, and the ignorant
Like Miley Cyrus, it's just something I can't put my finger in
I just can't understand it, I'll bet you know how I feel
Money can't buy you talent, but it can get you a record deal
And what's worse is most of these posers don't even write their own songs
They're just hanging there like a puppet, on the string of a thong
Using sex to sell CD's, until they get a VD
Then they'll grow up to be Britney Spears, and continue to bother me

Looking at the final product, I'm not very impressed with myself.
I'm a ghostwriter, so I actually work in the music industry so to speak, but will probably never be famous, but I don't care.
I've written over 100 songs in the past month, so the well is dry for this one. Peace, 4North
