Wake Up, Dorothy

A soul isn't cheap.

Well, they took my name 
Yeah, they stole it all 
They said, “Little girl, you’ll be a barbie doll.” 

We'll buy all your friends 
You’ll be the perfect size 
You’ll be the first place golden ribbon Nobel prize 

But you can't be gay 
We’d rather you’d be bi 
They said, “Sex is what sells, sweetie; so, don’t be shy.” 

We’ll dress you up 
You’ll be designer chic 
You’ll be the hottest little thing in the news this week 

We’ll hide your dirty laundry 
While we wash your mind 
They said, “Wake up, Dorothy; you’ve left Kansas behind.” 

So, I wrecked myself 
Yeah, like they planned I would 
I said, “Long live the dying heroes of Hollywood."

They can bury me under 
But the dirt will cave
I said, “You can’t keep a living spirit locked in a grave.”

Again excellent flow... a true poet/rhymer... the difference is their hero is just that dead...

Very interesting. It was great, very creative. My favorite verse had to be verse 6 :) Some people are not meant for writing, but you are, you have a real talent for this. Hope to read more from you soon :D
