lyrics

You tried out for your favorite show
You didn't know
How far you'd go
You always knew you'd do it, though
Despite unlikely odds

And hundreds, thousands, millions came
For much the same--
To play the game
And win a slice of TV fame
Amongst the D-list gods

Yet somehow you stood from the rest
They liked your zest
It passed the test
And you were granted your request
To make the final cut

They flew you out and brought you in
All pep and grin
And saccharin
'Cause now you stood a chance to win
You knew it in your gut

You settled into your new space
Felt out the place
And splashed your face
For in the morn began the race
For notoriety

And on the next day you were there
The lights and flair
Were everywhere
The crew allowed no time to spare
For inefficiency

The competition was a blur
You weren't quite sure
What place you were
And when the finish did occur
You found your team in last

And while you stood with jaw in slack
There formed a pack
Behind your back
That night those wolves sprung an attack
And so the votes were cast
And so the votes were cast
And so the votes were cast
And so the votes were cast

And...
Now you're off the show
You're the very first one to go
We're sorry but it's time to pack your bags and go home...
