“Let’s go folks, it’s showtime!”
Yells the man in the back
Curtain goes up in 1, 2, 3…
And all the lights come down
The audience expects
To have a good laugh
But they might as well
End up with a frown
When this anarchist takes the stage
Keeping them confused
Soon he’s all the rage
Andy keeps taking it too far
He wants to be a star
“Let’s go folks, it’s showtime!”
Yells the man in the back
Curtain goes up in 1, 2, 3…
And all the lights come down
With the bar set so high
What did he figure?
Coming this far you can’t help
But aim for the crown
Not allowing yourself to rest
Burn the candles at both ends
And you will end up in the dark
Andy keeps taking it too far
He wants to be a star
You stop trying to understand
What’s behind all that single man’s facade
He’s building up a rep
Bleeding himself to death
Scared in the end
You couldn’t care less
Now it’s 2 in the morning
And he’s eating alone
Thinking of his dad
Pleading him to accept
And be glad Andy was born
“Let’s go folks, it’s showtime!”
Yells the man in the back
Curtain goes up in one, two, three…
And all the lights come down
