Song Information:

...



the brief tale of three "anybodys" who are simply dealing with life.


many years ago, when people died on the job or in the fields,

their hands would clench and stiffen. The mortician would literally

have to break their fingers in order to straighten the hands out.

This is referenced at the end of the song.



I hope you enjoy the song.

Song Lyrics:

(Look at Me) I'm a Star
[color=gray]
In the loft of a foul old barn
Lived a boy who never knew harm

Five string guitar asleep by his side
Dreamed of beaches and new pesticides

Played for hours to the pigs and the cow
He wasn't happy, he didn't know how

Wanted more like the guys on t.v.
Turned to the hen and he said, "Someday you'll see!"

He said,
Look at me! I've come very far
Look at me! With my battle scars
Look at me! O' la-la-te-da
Look at me! I'm a star

Longst upon a precious young girl
Princess of a low-cal world

Perfect hair and olive toned skin
No-Salt crackers to keep her thighs thin

With a guy silver in his eye
He couldn't see her life filled with lies

Calvin Klein used to compliment well
Something missing even she couldn't tell

She said,
Look at me! I'm come very far
Look at me! With my battle scars
Look at me! Why is my life so hard?
Look at me! I'm a star

Trash can alley a cat and a dime
Nights linger lazy laughing at time

Shadow'd and broke, a homeless old coot
Tap danced away while another played flute

"I once had it all" said the two-toothed slob,
"What a I life I lost, what a wife what a job!"

Stuck in sorrow with a buck-forty-nine, stops his tappin'
Kicks the cat - oooooh - lunges the dime!

Look at me! I'm come very far
Look at me! With my battle scars
Look at me! How I worked very hard
Look at me! I'm a star

Inherit you rich ones, you can't understand
We average and simple get buried with broken hands

Look at me! I've come very far
Look at me! With my battle scars
Look at me! O' la-la-te-da
Look at me! I'm a star...
